The concert began late Saturday night. The JATP played the following night at the National Guard Armory in Washington. The "added attraction" was "Charlie Parker with Strings." It's likely that the five items issued on Philology Volume 17 (W 847) -- "Scrapple from the Apple," "Bernie's Tune," "C Jam Blues," "Ko Ko," and "These Foolish Things" -- were recorded around this time, rather than in 1947 as suggested in the notes.
