| | Charlie Parker In Sweden 1950: The Complete Recordings CD - Import Charlie Parker Discography of CDs
Audiophiles may blanch at the less-than-exemplary fidelity of these live recordings, but they certainly sound no worse than the legendary Dean Benedetti recordings, and they're of similar historical importance. Live jazz was still a rarity in Sweden in the early '50s, and this set (actually a seven-song park concert, followed by three selections--"Body and Soul," "Fine and Dandy" and "How High the Moon"--from an impromptu jam later that evening) gives the listener an idea of what influences were at work in Scandinavia at the time. Cool jazz on the order of the Lee Konitz/Lennie Tristano nexus seems to have been the standard, which means that Parker's typically fiery and passionate solos are set against a rather restrained and cerebral setting. Oddly, it's Parker's originals, such as "Anthropology" and "Cool Blues," that sound the most transformed by this dichotomy. As such, this recording is a unique and essential document.

$16.65 The historic live Town Hall sessions by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker from 1945 have been discovered on an acetate pressing, and are transferred with digital enhancement to CD. Why this concert was not issued initially is understandable, but Ira Gitler's informative and insightful liner notes suggest they likely were misplaced. What Gitler's essential writing also reveals is that these dates were approximate by only weeks to the original studio recordings of these classics, and there was no small amount of controversy surrounding this revolutionary ...
