Product Description

2008 release featuring live recordings of the Jazz great in a Big Band setting. 21 tracks including 'My Funny Valentine', 'Cuban Holiday', 'Lemon Drop' and more. Although he is best remembered for his outstanding quintet sides with Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Bud Powell and others, Charlie Parker had extensive Big Band experience dating back to the earliest years of his career. This CD compiles Parker's three main live performances with Big Bands, playing tunes he never recorded commercially and backed by the fat sound of large orchestras. Jazz Facto.
