Notes

Extract from sleeve notes written by J.R. Taylor - "All of the first choice takes released by Savoy on 78RPM discs in the 1940s are already available on the two-record Bird/The Savoy Recordings (Master Takes Savoy SJL 2201). 'Encores' is entirely made up of alternate takes... in chronological order - but only one alternate for each selection."
