The Uptown CD release (with excellent notes by Ron Fritts and Ira Gitler) clears up
a number of mysteries about this music. The fragments issued on Philology consist
of opening themes and the occasional Parker solo, and are poor quality throughout.
(Both Philology and Masters of Jazz -- as well as the prior LP releases on Phoenix
17 and Spotlite 123 -- list this as Parker with the Nat Cole Trio.) A few of the
items are still incomplete (e.g. "These Foolish Things"), but the sound is improved
over the previous versions, and most of the personnel are identified from the stage.
This date was booked as Willis Conover's Jam Session No. 3 - Dixieland vs.
Be-Bop, and Parker is in top form.
