This date needs further research. Claude Schlouch's Bud Powell discography places these items in fall 1945, but this seems unlikely, not least because at the time he was recovering from a head injury and subsequent breakdown. The recording, one of three surviving from Milton Green's original acetates, was made at Green's studio in 1947.

Eager and Parker trade horns on "Swapping Horns," which sounds like it's based on "Blue 'n' Boogie," and Roach plays drums. He may also be the drummer on "Original Horns." Morty Yoss is the drummer on "All the Things You Are."

As is customary, the Uptown CD does a terrific job with notes, remastering, and contemporary photos and ads.
