Per Lawrence O. Koch's YARDBIRD SUITE, this "is a classic performance; it contains a beautiful heart-rending first chorus by Eldridge, a lovely Young solo, some classic Parker with the use of the motif, and a big-toned Phillips statement... Hank Jones is extremely sensitive to the different needs of each soloist, and the success of the performance owes much to his perceptiveness." (Popular Press, 1988, p. 166).
Anyone know who plays after Charlie Parker? The last Chorus. Or a more accurate ordering, my guess so far is 1st on trumpet Roy Eldridge 2nd on saxophone Lester Young 3rd on trombone Flip Phillips 4th on saxophone Charlie Parker 5th on saxophone ????😅 Thanks
Eldridge is in sublime form at the start of this track.

@josh-bp1km ...That's Bill Harris on trombone.
Lester is on tenor and Charlie on alto here. It's worth specifying this. You are right, there is another tenor at the end. I have no idea who it is.
