Diz 'N Bird at Carnegie Hall

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 ...

Rainbow Mist

Rainbow Mist (1944) more music like this

by Coleman Hawkins

Hawkins was always an open-minded musician. A very advanced player even when he first emerged with Fletcher Henderson's orchestra in the '20s, by the '40s he may have been technically middle-aged but remained a young thinker. For his recording session of February 16, 1944, the great tenor invited some of the most promising younger players ...

Ken Burns Jazz

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

It's impossible to grasp the complete scope of trumpeter, bandleader, composer, and showman Dizzy Gillespie's influence on jazz. However, this companion release to Ken Burns' PBS documentary Jazz is an admirable attempt, providing a brief glimpse of Dizzy's pioneering bebop and Afro-Cuban jazz brilliance on a single 16-track disc. The disc ...

Burnin' Bird

Burnin' Bird (2002) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

This Savoy compilation features various recordings made by saxophonist Charlie Parker during the mid- to late- '40s. Most die-hard bebop fanatics will have these tracks on other discs, but neophytes should find Burnin' Bird useful. Included are such legendary recordings as "Koko," "Ornithology," and "Shaw 'Nuff" -- many of which feature other jazz ...

Bird Up: The Originals

Bird Up: The Originals (2003) more music like this

by Charlie Parker

Bird Up: The Originals, the companion disc to Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project, contains 11 remastered tracks recorded between 1945 and 1948. Even though the running time could be longer, this budget disc sounds great and is highly recommended to those unfamiliar with the brilliant bebop saxophonist and his equally apt cohorts, including ...

Oo Bop

Oo Bop (1945) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

A ragtag of sessions from 1945, 1946, 1952, and 1953. The 1945 cuts (including "Salt Peanuts") also have Charlie Parker aboard; the ones from 1946 are less innovative and far more commercial-minded, with Alice Roberts on vocals. There's also a number with strings from 1953, and a selection ("Perdido") from the famous 1953 Massey Hall concert with ...

Bud Plays Bird (1957) more music like this

by Bud Powell

Previously unissued until 1996, this trio session by pianist Bud Powell with bassist George Duvivier and drummer Art Taylor is better than his Verve recordings of the period if not quite up to the level of his earlier classic Blue Note dates. Actually it is a mystery how such excellent music could be unknown and go unreleased for so long. Powell ...

Groovin' High [Savoy] (1945) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

This 1992 CD reissue from Japanese Denon is certainly filled with classic music, but this is a so-so, lightweight reissue (a reproduction of a '50s LP but obviously in a smaller size), because there are only 13 selections (an LP's worth of material), the liner notes are dated and breezy, and the complete sessions are not included The great ...

Dizzy's 80th Birthday Party (1997) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie Alumni All-Stars

To celebrate the late trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie's 80th birthday (he had made it to 75), trumpeter Jon Faddis heads a tribute to Gillespie. Faddis, Dizzy's greatest protégé, can sound just like Gillespie (no mean feat), but actually has a much wider range and can play stratospheric high notes perfectly in tune. Joined by either altoist Antonio Hart ...

1945-1946 (1997) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

The 1945-1946 edition of Gillespie's Classics series finds the bop trumpeter in the kind of top-notch company he kept throughout most of the '40s. Leaving sideman dates for other discs, the 23-track set spotlights Gillespie with his Tempo Jazzmen and an early version of his orchestra; while the former included the stunning likes of Lucky Thompson, ...

With the release of Clint Eastwood's film Bird, Supersax got together for their first instrumental recording (without the L.A. Voices) in ten years. They returned to their original concept, using Charlie Parker's original recorded solos (reharmonized for five saxophones) as melodies and featuring solos by trumpeter Conte Candoli and pianist Lou ...

Groovin' High [Indigo] (1997) more music like this

by Dizzy Gillespie

This collection of 24 tracks is a mix of Gillespie's big band and small group efforts in the mid-'40s. There are some prime examples of seminal bebop, both from a playing standpoint and as compositions that defined the genre. Gillespie's sidemen, like Sonny Stitt, Charlie Parker and Dexter Gordon became legends in their own right, but Dizzy gave ...

This two-disc, 42-track survey of the roots of bebop draws from recordings made in the 1930s and 1940s, beginning with some forward-thinking tracks still very much in the classic swing mode and moving by the second disc to landmark recordings by bebop's real first wave, including key sides from Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, and ...
