Charlie Parker – Afro Cuban Bop: The Long Lost Bird Live Recordings (CD)
Product Details
Charlie Parker's live recordings from the 1940s and 50s capture something no studio session ever could: the spontaneous combustion of bebop in real time, with Bird pushing harmonic boundaries night after night in front of audiences who didn't always know they were witnessing a revolution. The Afro-Cuban thread running through this material reflects Parker's deep engagement with Latin rhythms at a moment when New York's jazz and Afro-Cuban scenes were in thrilling, fertile conversation.
Live archive release. Remastered, reconfigured and repackaged high energy live recordings from the 1940s & 1950s featuring the legendary Charlie Parker, backed up by other jazz luminaries including Dizzy Gillespie, Milt Jackson, Art Blakey and Woody Herman, with liner notes by Keith Emerson and Cory Weed.
