The guitarist may be Leonard "Lucky" Enois.
These titles are usually listed as September 1942, but this is unlikely. As Carl
Woideck notes (Charlie Parker: His Music and Life, pp. 86-87), Mack Gordon
and Harry Warren's "My Heart Tells Me" was not copyrighted until September 1943.
It was first recorded by Glen Gray and the Casa Loma Orchestra in mid-1943, and
was featured in the Irving Cummings film Sweet Rosie O'Grady, released
in October of the same year. Larry Koch (Yardbird Suite, p. 42) observes
that Parker worked extensively in Kansas City in late 1943 with a group that included
both Enois and Phillips, and argues that these tunes were recorded during that time.
For a measure of Parker's development, compare this version of "Cherokee" with
the version recorded at Clark Monroe's in
early 1942.
