BIRD'S NEST
CHARLIE PARKER CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION COLLECTION 1920 - 2020
2CD SET - LIMITED EDITION DIGIPAK WITH COMPREHENSIVE BOOKLET AND UP-TO-DATE LINER NOTES - COMPLETE SAVOY MASTERS AND MORE!
CHARLIE PARKER THE COMPLETE / SAVOY MASTERS
Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (1920-1955) was among the most influential jazz artists ever, and one of the few indisputable geniuses of his time. This set presents the complete master takes from his studio recording sessions for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label. Included here are some of Bird's most admired sides, such as "Koko", "Parker's Mood", and "Donna Lee". One session presents him on tenor sax, an instrument on which he only rarely recorded. All other studio sessions originally recorded by other small labels during that period but later acquired and reissued by Savoy have also been included here.
As a bonus, this set presents two additional complete Charlie Parker sessions recorded for Guild in 1945, as well as an extremely rare date from that same year with trombonist Clyde Bernhardt and pianist Jay McShann from which only the original broken glass-based (and thus rather noisy) test pressings survive. Bird plays solos on all four sides.
CHARLIE PARKER, alto sax (tenor sax on CD1, 15-18), on all tracks, plus:
COLLECTIVE PERSONNEL: Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis (tp),
Bud Powell, Clyde Hart, John Lewis, Duke Jordan (p),
Timy Grimes (g), Tommy Potter, Slam Stewart (b), Max Roach (d), among others.
Recorded in New York, 1944-1948
