Only Louis Armstrong and John Coltrane have had as dramatic an influence on other musicians. Broadly considered as one of the greatest saxophonists of all time, he was crucial in the development of the bebop movement. Many of his compositions have… Read more in Amazon's Charlie Parker Store

Editorial Reviews

Although He is Best Remembered for his Outstanding Quintet Sides with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Bud Powell and Others, Charlie Parker Had Extensive Big Band Experience Dating Back to the Earliest Years of his Career. This CD Compiles Parker’s Three Main Live Performances with Big Bands, Playing Tunes He Never Recorded Commercially and Backed by the Fat Sound of Large Orchestras.

4.0 out of 5 stars Charlie Parker: Live with the Big Bands, May 22, 2007
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Live with the Big Bands with Charlie Parker, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, and Joe Timer (Audio CD)
What you get here is 21 tracks of Bird fronting three different big bands.
There are three with Stan Kenton, ten with Woody Herman and eight with Joe
Timer. What you don't get much of are the big bands themselves, so if you
want some good to excellent Bird with big band backing, this is a good
one. If you really are into these bands, buy a different CD, especially
if Bird is not your thing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great CD, June 20, 2007
This review is from: Live with the Big Bands with Charlie Parker, Stan Kenton, Woody Herman, and Joe Timer (Audio CD)
Wao, Bird fires!! The songs contain vivid and relatively longer solos by Bird. Plus, very good sound quality.
