This whirlwind European tour was organized by Parker's manager Billy Shaw. Parker
and Roy Eldridge had been invited by Nils Hellstrom, publisher of the journal Estrad,
to play a number of Swedish venues accompanied by Swedish rhythm sections. The American
musicians arrived at Bromma airport on Sunday Novemeber 19th, where Parker was met
by a large group of enthusiastic fans. The itinerary for the tour was as follows:
November 20: Konserthuset, Stockholm (two shows)
November 20 (after the Konserthuset shows): Van der Lindeska Valven, Stockholm (jam
session)
November 21: Unknown venue, Gothenburg (two shows)
November 22: Amiralen Dance Hall, Malmö
November 22 (after the Malmö show): Unknown venue, Lund (jam session)
November 23: KB Hallen, Copenhagen (two shows)
November 24: Folkets Park, Hälsingborg
November 24 (after the Folkets Park show): Unknown restaurant (jam session)
November 25: Unknown venue, Hälsingborg (Vail says Jönköping)
November 26: Unknown venue, Stockholm (Vail says Gävle)
Parker left Sweden on November 28, stopping in Paris to record with the Maurice
Moufflard Orchestra. The Paris stay, which was supposed to include a concert organized
by Charles Delaunay, was cut short by stomach pains; Parker returned early to New
York and was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer.
Parker's playing on these Swedish dates is relaxed and inventive, and he sounds like
he's having a blast. The audiences are very appreciative.
