Complete Savoy Masters Limited edition
Charlie Parker
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 set presents the complete master takes from his studio
recording sessions for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label. Included here are
some of Bird's most admired sides, 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 two additional complete Charlie Parker
sessions recorded for Guild in 1945, as well as an extremely rare date
from that same year with trombonist Clyde Bernhardt and pianist Jay
McShann from which only the original broken glass-based (and thus
rather noisy) test pressings survive. Bird plays solos on all four sides.
