Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker – Bird & Diz (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Gillespie and Parker essentially invented the modern jazz vocabulary together in the mid-1940s, and by the time these sessions were captured in 1950, both men were at the absolute peak of their powers. What you hear on these sides is two architects of bebop in genuine conversation, the kind of musical dialogue that only comes from years of shared history and mutual challenge.
Vinyl LP pressing. This 1952 collection is one of bebop's key artefacts and also represents two milestones: the only and only time that pianist Thelonious Monk recorded with the dynamic duo, and the last time Gillespie and Parker appeared together in the studio. It also features the red-hot rhythm section of bassist Curly Stewart and drummer Buddy Rich.
