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 ... Full Descriptiontakes 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.

Bebop & Bird, Volume 2 album
 $14.24  
With his silken, suave, self-assured vocals recalling a cross between Nat "King" Cole and Frank Sinatra, Harry Connick Jr. has a natural voice for celebrating Christmastime. So it's no surprise that with the 2008 holiday season in full swing, Connick returns with his third holiday record, the sprightly WHAT A NIGHT! A CHRISTMAS ALBUM. As it is with his non-Yuletide LPs, WHAT A NIGHT! is a medley of his nimble, elegant takes on time-tested classics and disarming originals. The set opens on Connick's vibrant re-envisioning of "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year," heavy on exotic percussion and redolent of his New Orleans roots, yet based in its original impassioned swing. The title track, a ballad penned by Connick, shimmers with open-fire-roasted chestnuts warmth and collective cheer. Perhaps the most beguiling moment is his gentle, unadorned, unearthly version of the melancholy "I'll Be Home For Christmas," a unique yet unassuming take on the well-traveled tune.
Arranger: Harry Connick ...
