Comment
--1st Session info--

From a jam session in the basement of the William Henry Apartments at 136th and Broadway. Recorded by Don Lanphere, edited to include Parker solos and exchanges for the most part. Despite the editing there are some excellent examples of Parker's playing in a relaxed jam-session context. His playing on "Scrapple for the Apple" is particularly inspired.

--2nd Session info--

From a jam session in the basement of the William Henry Apartments at 136th and Broadway. Recorded by Gers Yowell, again edited to include Parker solos and exchanges. Even some of the exchanges are edited to include only Parker's fours!

Parker plays very fluently and imaginatively throughout, and despite the off-putting cuts these are excellent examples of his playing in a relaxed jam-session context.

Isola plays drums on "Out of Nowhere" and "All the Things You Are," Bridgeford on "Bernie's Tune," and Brown on the remaining titles.
