Description
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 remarkable 137-track set presents the complete sessions (including all of the master, alternative, and incomplete takes) he recorded in the studio for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label. Some of Bird's most admired sides are contained on this edition, 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 four additional complete Charlie Parker sessions which find him in the company of such stars as Dexter Gordon, Sarah Vaughan and Teddy Wilson, plus an extremely rare 1950 date privately recorded as a kind of demo.
