Then and Now

Then and Now (1992) more music like this

by Red Rodney

Red Rodney's final recording (cut two years before his death) finds the 64-year-old sticking exclusively to flugelhorn and still displaying strong chops. Performing with his working quintet (Chris Potter on tenor and alto, pianist Garry Dial, bassist Jay Anderson and drummer Jimmy Madison) Rodney returns to his roots, performing 11 bop-era ...

Through the miracle of high-resolution digital transfer and mastering technology, Bird enthusiasts can now get an earful of the shape of Charlie Parker's musical accomplishments for Savoy and Dial in the 1940s.

Parker's Mood

Parker's Mood (1995) more music like this

by Roy Hargrove/Christian McBride/Stephen Scott

On this unusual album, Roy Hargrove (trumpet, flugelhorn), Christian McBride (bass) and Stephen Scott (piano) pay homage to the father of bebop with a generous set of (mostly) Charlie Parker compositions performed in trio, duet and solo arrangements. These three musicians, all of whom are part of the back-to-bop youth movement and all of whom have ...

Chasin' the Bird [Synergy]

Chasin' the Bird [Synergy] (2004) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

What sets apart the budget compilations on the Synergy label is their sound. Each track is remastered using a trademark process. The liner notes are workmanlike but offer helpful information to the novice (though there is no personnel listed). The material here comes from the fevered pitch of bebop's birth and covers the years 1946-48. Some of the ...

Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings

Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings (2000) more music like this

by Miles Davis

The people behind the Definitive Classics reissue label want you to become more familiar with classic early modern jazz. They also have a habit of issuing the same body of works more than once under different musicians' names. Case in point: the Complete Savoy and Dial Recordings of Miles Davis is almost entirely composed of material from sessions ...

BlueBird: Legendary Savoy Sessions

BlueBird: Legendary Savoy Sessions (2000) more music like this

by Charlie Parker & Miles Davis

Can you find the glaring omission in this otherwise excellent overview of Charlie Parker's Savoy studio recordings? Definitive, belying their label's very name, left three titles off of BlueBird: Legendary Savoy Sessions. Although "Waking Up a Riff" and "Thriving from a Riff" could conceivably be considered expendable, the absence of "Ko-Ko" ...

Bird/The Savoy Recordings (Master Takes) (1944) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

This two-LP set, whose contents have since been reissued in various forms on CD, contains all 30 selections that the great altoist Charlie Parker cut for Savoy. Bird is heard as a sideman with Tiny Grimes and then as a leader during the famous "Ko Ko" session of 1945 and throughout 1947-48. With a supporting cast that includes trumpeter Miles ...

Relaxing at Sea: Live on the QE2 (2000) more music like this

by Lou Donaldson Quartet

Accessibility has always been a high priority for Lou Donaldson, whose soul-jazz and hard bop isn't about complexity for the sake of complexity or abstraction for the sake of abstraction. The veteran alto saxophonist isn't afraid to groove, which is why many blues and R&B fans who don't care for a lot of bop have found him very easy to get into -- ...

Play the Right Thing (1990) more music like this

by Lou Donaldson

As specifically indicated by the album's title, the title tune's bluesy cast, and Sweet Lou Donaldson's own determined liner notes, this CD aims to strike a blow for soul-jazz, a once-popular, then-maligned idiom newly returned from exile. That it does -- with no frills, no apologies, and an idiomatic supporting cast. For Donaldson, it was a ...

Segments (1989) more music like this

by Geri Allen with Charlie Haden & Paul Motian

Reissued from the original 1989 recording, Segments features three of the finest modern jazz musicians: pianist Geri Allen, bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Paul Motian. At the time, the trio performed and recorded frequently, and the collaborative energy they shared is palpable on this album. Along with original pieces, they perform smart, ...

1945-1953 (1999) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

This Giants of Jazz Charlie Parker sampler exceeds its own stated timeframe (1945-1953) by one year. It accomplishes this feat by including Bird's gorgeous rendition of "Just One of Those Things," recorded on March 31, 1954. Almost all of the music spread over 25 tracks features a young Miles Davis; Red Rodney shows up twice and Dizzy Gillespie ...

Retrospective 1940-1953 (2005) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

In 2005, Saga Jazz released a 62-track anthology of Charlie Parker recordings under the title Retrospective 1940-1953. It's a good strong shot of vintage bop, but like so many compilations it suffers slightly from chronologic scrambling. That wouldn't even be worth mentioning were it not for the inclusion of a handful of Bird's early pre-bop ...

The Alternative Takes series is of immense value to consumers of the "French Classics" CD series. These are alternate takes in chronological order of historic jazz (and some blues) with a strong representation of the swing era. The Alternative Takes, Vol. 4: 1948-1950 contains 24 Charlie Parker tracks on a single disc including "Parker's Mood" ...
