Charlie Parker – Bird In Kansas City (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
Kansas City was more than Bird's hometown. It was the crucible where Charlie Parker absorbed the blues-soaked swing of the territory band era before taking that foundation apart and rebuilding jazz from the inside out. These recordings catch him at the source, in the company of local players and without the pressure of a formal studio date, offering a rare window into the musician beneath the legend.
Charlie Parker - "Bird In Kansas City" / This new set of rare Charlie Parker recordings dating from between 1941-1951, most of them never having been heard before and some never even having been known to exist, chronicle Bird's evolution from a blossoming soloist with the Jay McShann Band into a brilliant improviser who dominated the jazz landscape for decades to come. In addition to two unreleased 78s with the McShann band, this set offers two sets of private recordings made with local musicians and a very relaxed-sounding Parker. Verve Label Group; Verve; Jazz
