My source is from a Charlie Parker discography from jazzdiscogs.org. In November 26 1945, Charlie Parker led a studio date that included Dizzy on trumpet and piano, Miles on trumpet, Curly Russell on bass, and Max on drums for Savoy Records. Sadik Hakim was pianist for “Thriving on a Riff” on takes 11, 12, and 13. Take 1 was pianist Dizzy. Sadik Hakim also played the opening and closing parts of “Koko”. Dizzy played the middle. Why? The union rep was checking to see if Sadik was in the union. Sadik was not in the union.

Yes, that’s the story I’ve seen too, mentioned also in the link I included. Not sure that any story is fully true. A time machine might help clear up mysteries.
@jazzbirder, I believe the site yo refer to is this one, jazzdisco.org, which looks to be rather comprehensive:

A real nice group, and a real nice album. I think they need more exposure.

Regarding Pandelis I agree completely. have heard a little bit of his work, and think he needs additional exposure. Learned of him through Ken Vandermark. On board with Nate, Jeb and Luther. I don’t recall Jorrit’s work.

Just a gorgeous reading of this Frank Loesser tune from the recent “Street of Dreams”. Not sure why Qobuz is featuring the cover photo of the two decades’ prior album, “Written in the Stars”.
