Biography

In his brief career, Charlie Parker transformed jazz, spontaneously extending the harmonic and rhythmic range of the music in his fluent improvisations. 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

5.0 out of 5 stars A highly recommended introduction to Bird's '45 recordings, December 28, 1999
By 
Mike Auber (London, England) - See all my reviews
Containing the seminal 1945 "Now's The Time" session with Dizzy Gillespie and Max Roach, plus a sublime collaboration with Sarah Vaughan, "Mean To Me", which is probably the closest we'll get to the sound of the legendary Billy Eckstine line-up, this is a great place to start your Bird collection if , like me, you're not a great fan of the Dial and Verve recordings.

WARNING: This CD has been digitally remastered using CEDAR which brings out detail, but tends to colour the sound compared to the original recordings.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Yard Bird winner, May 26, 2001
By 
Guy Coffee (Manhattan, KS USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Early Bird (Audio CD)
Though I can't consider myself a real true blue experienced jazz fan, being from ole KC to me this one is a real winner and definitely worth the wait to get it. There are some real classics on this one such as "Sweet Georgia Brown", "Groovin' High" with J. B. Gillespie, "All the Things Your Are" and a few others. Highly recommended as a starter. Most are recordings from the early to mid '40s.
