Editorial Reviews

Full title - Free As A Bird - Legendary 1952 Jam Sessions. The first session was recorded in early June at the Norman Granz Jam Session in Hollywood, California, while the second was recorded at the Jazz at Midnight Jam Session, in the Howard Theater, Washington, D.C. The unparalleled Norman Granz Jam Session features the likes of piano virtuoso Oscar Peterson & guitar genius Barney Kessel laying down the harmonies over the ever-solid playing of Ray Brown on Bass & J.C. Heard on drums. On the Jazz at Midnight Jam Session, Bird's frenetic sound can be heard against the smooth sounds of fellow alto saxophonists Benny Carter & Johnny Hodges. Liner notes by Milt Jackson. 20-bit remastered. Definitive Records. 2003
