1	The Essential Charlie Parker (1992) more music like this by Charlie Parker Another anthology that has less value due to the exploding reissue market. These cuts were among Parker's most influential compositions and performances, but they've been reissued many times, both in anthology packages and on re-releases of their original albums.

2	Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall (1947) more music like this by Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie Nine years after Benny Goodman's groundbreaking concert, bebop finally came to Carnegie Hall. Most notable on this 1997 CD (which contains music that has been reissued many times, often incoherently) is the meeting between altoist Charlie Parker and trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie. Joined by the underrecorded piano of John Lewis, bassist Al McKibbon and ... see all copies from $11.13! new only from $11.13!

6	Charlie Parker at Storyville (1953) more music like this by Charlie Parker This LP contains two broadcasts at Boston's Storyville club in 1953.

8	Charlie Parker for Lovers (2006) more music like this by Charlie Parker As part of Verve's For Lovers series, the genius alto saxophonist Charlie Parker is spotlighted on 11 tracks recorded between 1949 and 1954.

10	20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Charlie Parker (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker was instrumental in tipping jazz over from the swing genre, which was predominantly a dance music, to bop, which aspired to art, an intellectual dance if you will, and consequently Parker was a huge purveyor of the mid-'40s sea change that began to alter the way audiences approached jazz, and pop music in general. ... see all copies from $8.66! new only from $8.66!
11	Bird & Diz (1950) more music like this by Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie This collection of 78 rpm singles, all recorded on June 6, 1950, was originally issued in album format in 1956 (this CD reissue adds three alternate takes to make what was originally a very skimpy program slightly more generous). Several things distinguish this from numerous other quintet recordings featuring these two bebop pioneers. It was ... see all copies from $13.00! new only from $13.00!
12	Complete Dial Sessions (2004) more music like this by Charlie Parker Charlie Parker recorded for Dial during the same period he was cutting his better-known sides for Savoy.

19 view cover	The Complete Johnny Mercer Songbook (1998) more music like this by Various Artists One of the giants of American popular song gets his due with this three-disc Verve box, comprising a trio of separately released compilations.
