Parker, Charlie - Bird And Diz

NEW VINYL LP ON STUDIO MEDIA 2012.

180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL.

This collection of 78 rpm singles, all recorded on June 6, 1950, was originally issued in album format in 1956. Several things distinguish this from numerous other quintet recordings featuring these two bebop pioneers. It was recorded during the period that Parker was working under the aegis of producer Norman Granz, whose preference for large and unusual ensembles was notorious. The end result in this case is a date that sounds very much like those that Parker and Gillespie recorded for Savoy and Dial, except with top-of-the-line production quality. Even more interesting, though, is Parker's choice of Thelonious Monk as pianist. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Parker
