Parker, Charlie
The Genius Of Charlie Parker (it)
Originally released on Savoy in 1955, very soon after Bird departed this mortal coil, 'The Genius Of Charlie Parker' is a compilation of recordings from 1944-1948, a period of particularly profound material from one of jazz's most important artists. Joining the alto saxophonist on these sessions reads like a who's who of jazz greats, from Dizzy Gillespie to Max Roach, and from Bud Powell to Miles Davis. Some of the greatest bebop ever put to tape, lovingly reissued on LP by Doxy. Side A: 1. Bird Gets the Worm 2. Bluebird 3. Klaunstance 4. Barbados 5. Merry Go Round 6. Donna Lee 7. Chasing the Bird. Side B: 1. Koko 2. Perhaps 3. Warming Up a Riff 4. Slim's Jam 5. Popity Pop 6. Dizzy Boogie 7. Flat Foot Floogie.
