After closing at the Roost in mid-March, the Parker Quintet was booked for four
weeks in Chicago, then returned east to open at Bop City in mid-April. After the
success of the February JATP concert at Carnegie Hall, Norman Granz added Tommy
Turk and a conga player to the mix for this session. This session is sometimes dated
in March, but according to Phil Schaap, Parker and Turk "are not in the same place
from February 12, 1949 until April 25th at the earliest, and likely not until April
30, 1949."
"Visa" (titled in anticipation of Parker's trip to Paris for the Festival International
de Jazz?) is a catchy blues that Parker performed live a few times in 1950.
