This was a recorded rehearsal. Tony Scott is listed as piano, and we must assume this is the Tony Scott Holiday was playing with a lot during this time, even though his principal instrument was clarinet.
Once again, the number of alternate takes varies between Lord and Varela. Lord--who lists more tracks than Varela--has very confusion notation, so we are not using it. That is, when he lists, 'Discussion; God Bless the Child', does that mean the song 'God Bless the Child' is discussed? Or that there is talking that leads into the song? Is it a false start? Incomplete? If someone can clarify why he lists more recordings, that would be helpful, but for now we will go with Varela's list of songs.
