Volume 1
- Recorded: Feb 5, 1946 – Jul 29, 1946
The first volume features several sessions. In one, Parker and Dizzy Gillespie perform "Diggin' Diz". In another, described by Yanow as "superior", Parker and Miles Davis on trumpet lead a West Coast septet through several Parker standards, with variant takes. The final session on the album features Parker in performance with a Howard McGhee-led quintet where, according to Yanow, Parker's performance is seriously hampered by his poor physical condition.
Volume 2
- Recorded: Feb 19, 1947
This volume features the first session, including alternate takes, that Parker recorded following his hospitalization at Camarillo State Hospital in 1947. He is accompanied by the Erroll Garner trio, with vocalist Earl Coleman.
Volume 3
- Recorded: Feb 1, 1947 – Feb 26, 1947
The majority of the third volume features Parker in session with Red Callender on double bass, Wardell Gray on tenor saxophone, Barney Kessel on guitar, Don Lamond on drum, McGhee on trumpet, and Dodo Marmarosa on piano.[10] Although the rest of the album has more historical significance than sound quality, Yanow describes the volume as "excellent" and recommends it.
Volume 4
- Recorded: Oct 28, 1947
The fourth volume presents Parker in performance with his 1947 quintet, featuring musicians Davis on trumpet, Duke Jordan on piano and Max Roach on drums. The album features six classics and 10 alternative takes. In his review, Yanow indicates that "this influential bop music...is full of brilliant moments".
Volume 5
- Recorded: Jun 6, 1945 – Nov 4, 1947
Primarily from a session on November 4, 1947, the 5th volume again features Parker with his 1947 quintet plus Lucky Thompson. Additionally, it includes tracks featuring vocals by Earl Coleman and a 1945 performance of "Hallelujah" with Parker and Gillespie in support of vibraphonist Red Norvo.
Volume 6
- Recorded: Dec 17, 1947
