This is the first Norman Granz attempt to showcase Parker in different settings.
Referring to this session between numbers at the Roost several days later (January
1, 1949), Symphony Sid Torin says, "That new thing that you did with Machito
was really one of the most sensational things yet... One of the most sensational
things, recorded for Mercury on the bop series, it's received a lot of wonderful
kicks... It more or less puts bop in a more or less commercial sort of a groove,
don't you think?" Parker laconically answers, "Well, if you wanna take it that
way, but I mean, 'bop' is just a title, I mean, it's all still music to me..."
By January 15,
1949, Symphony Sid is hawking copies of "No Noise" during his on-air comments
from the Royal Roost.
