| | Charlie Parker Bebop & Bird, Volume 2 CD Charlie Parker Discography of CDs
Rhino's BEBOP AND BIRD VOLUME ONE was a fine compilation, but its successor volume is possibly even better. Its 16 tracks, recorded in the mid-'40s with a variety of lineups, including several Charlie Parker standards, including three very different takes of his composition "Cool Blues," the track generally credited with starting the cool jazz movement later led by Parker's former trumpeter--who doesn't appear on this set--Miles Davis. Another proponent of cool jazz was pianist Errol Garner, whose relaxed, impressionistic runs on several of these tracks, including both takes of "Relaxin' at Camarillo," sound like they heavily influenced the more cerebral solos of later pianists like Lennie Tristano and Bill Evans. As always with Rhino reissues, the sound quality is positively superb, and the packaging and annotations are excellent.
Recorded at C.P. MacGregor Studios, Hollywood, California on July 29, 1946, and February 19 and 26, 1947; live at Rockland Palace Dance Hall, Harlem, New York on September 26, 1952. Includes liner notes by John Breckow.
Personnel includes: Charlie Parker (alto saxophone); Wardell Gray (tenor saxophone); Howard McGhee (trumpet); Jimmy Bunn, Erroll Garner, Dodo Marmarosa, Walter Bishop (piano); Barney Kessel, Mundell Lowe (guitar); Bob Kesterson, Red Callender, Teddy Kotick (bass); Roy Porter, Harold "Doc" West, Don Lamond, Max Roach (drums).
Compilation producer: John Breckow.

Pay your dues, put in your heart and soul, and you’re gonna get good at it. Well, JAVELINAS RAGE at ROCK AND ROLL. With a 20yr history of making many records, record deals, touring regionally and nationally, starting their own record label, radioplay, and supporting some of rock and rolls icons, the four members of Javelinas within the last 3yrs have created one of the most formidable rock/Americana bands to hit the pavement…Once upon a time, in the early 2000's there was a 5pc Chicago rock/alt-country/hillbilly-swag band called the Flat Mean Tires. They had an interesting 2 year run before a firey implosion took effect. During that time, they supported acts such as Bobby Bare Jr., The Blasters, Front of Truck, John Langford and could be regularly caught at Chicago's Hideout, Beat Kitchen and House of Blues. After the mind-numbing implosion, two of the Flat Mean Tires found themselves crawling from the rubble, a bit scarred but still hungry for the power of rock music. Detroit native, singer/songwriter Chris McInnis & Singer/songwriter/rock guitarist Mark Grzelak along with the concrete-solid addition of midwestern rocker Dan Postlewait on the bass guitar and the Chitown via Boston route Chris Glynn on the drums, the group reformed ...
