PARKER CHARLIE BIRD IN LA 2 CD RSD

CHARLIE PARKER – BIRD IN L.A.

Μια ιστορική κυκλοφορία για το RSD Black Friday 

που φέρνει στο φως μαζί άγνωστες και ακυκλοφόρητες ηχογραφήσεις 

αλλά και σπάνιο υλικό από τις 

3 επισκέψεις του Charlie Parker 

στο Los Angeles κατά τη διάρκεια της σύντομης ζωής του.

Charlie Parker spent more time in Los Angeles than anywhere 

outside of Kansas City and New York City. 

This historic release brings together previously unknown 

and unissued recordings along with rarities captured during 

three of the four California trips Bird made during his too-short life.

Among the crown jewels on this set are “How High the Moon” 

and “Fifty-Second Street Theme” from his historic engagement 

with Dizzy Gillespie at Billy Berg’s in 1945. 

Also included are three previously unknown performances 

from a 1948 “Jazz at the Philharmonic” concert at the Shrine Auditorium. 

Most intriguingly, the complete recordings of the infamous July 1952 “naked party” 

at the Altadena ranch of Jirayr Zorthian are included. 

Recording engineer Doug Benson has done a remarkable 

job of restoring these recordings to the highest possible audio fidelity. 

Included in this set is an extensive essay by producer John Burton 

describing the circumstances under which these recordings 

were made as well as rarely-seen photographs from Bird’s trips to L.A."
