  • Description

    Collector's limited edition. Deluxe 6-sided Digipak presentation with comprehensive booklet.

    Contained here is the complete LP Charlie Parker Plays Cole Porter (Verve MGV8007). Intended as a homage to composer Cole Porter, who penned all of the tunes featured here, the album marks one of Norman Granz's first attempts to present a songbook, preceding the celebrated LPs he would make with Ella Fitzgerald. Bird never saw the final product, as he died on March 12, 1955, before the LP's release date. In fact, the album's second session would also be his very last, either live or at a recording studio. Six bonus tracks have also been included here, consisting of additional studio versions of Porter songs by Bird.

    All compositions by COLE PORTER

    All original recordings produced by NORMAN GRANZ
