Someone should point this out,

This review is from: Charlie Parker for Piano (Jazz Masters) (Paperback)
While this transcription book has some good Bird solos in it, I was always confused about the solos on "Good Dues Blues," "One Bass Hit," "Ray's Idea," "Oop Bop Sh-Bam," "That's Earl, Brother," and "Things To Come." I couldn't find them on any Charlie Parker recordings. Jamey Aebersold's website even goes so far as to say that they are transcriptions of "Unrecorded" Bird solos. I finally realized that they actually can all be found on Dizzy Gillespie recordings, but the soloist is not Charlie Parker but Sonny Stitt. While they do sound similar, I think it's going way too far to put Stitt solos in a book of Bird transcriptions, and I'm surprised this error hasn't been caught in the 20 years or so that this book has been in print. Oh well.
