This was Davis' first recording session as a leader. Unlike the Parker-led Savoy
sessions, this one was preceded by two rehearsal sessions. Parker begins a little
tentatively on tenor saxophone, but by the end of the session he plays with his
usual facility and inventiveness. All of the compositions are Davis', though some
early issues credit "Milestones" to Parker.
