It was the second time that Parker would be recorded on tenor sax and the only time that he recorded with Rollins. The session was very chaotic for Davis as his heroin habit had become particularly bad at the onset of 1953. Parker had quit using heroin by that time but supplanted it with large amounts of alcohol. He proceed to drink a quart of vodka at the rehearsal and spoke condescendingly towards Davis. Parker passed out after he and Davis argued, with Davis becoming so mad that he played poorly. This in turn angered the producer and led to the session remaining unreleased. In 1956 Davis signed with Columbia, but still owed Prestige a half session. He went back in to record with Rollins , \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Tommy+Flanagan\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTommy Flanagan\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on piano, bassist \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Paul+Chambers\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaul Chambers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/turntablelab.mom\/search?q=Art+Taylor\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt Taylor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e on drums.
