Parker has serious reed problems throughout this session. During a taped interview
several years later (May 1, 1950), Parker
tells an amusing story: Rubberlegs Williams accidentally drank Parker's coffee,
which had been spiked with benzedrine. Listen as Williams' singing gets increasingly
urgent as the session progresses. Eventually Trummy Young replaced him. Williams "sings"
on the first five numbers, Young on the last four.
"4-F Blues" and "G.I. Blues" are two takes of the same tune.
