Charlie Parker: Bird On The Side: Vol. 2: Original Recordings 1941-1947

Documenting the first half of a career that was far too brief, these 1941-47 selections find Charlie Parker work as a formidable sideman. With Jay McShann and His Orchestra, "Bird" plays old-school jazz on "Swingmatism," "Dexter Blues," and "Sepian Bounce," while he trades leads with guitarist Tiny Grimes on "Romance without Finance" and "Tiny's Bounce." Sitting in with Red Norvo's sextet on "Get Happy" and "Congo Blues," Parker is laid back and smooth, but gets to cut loose with his friend Dizzy Gillespie on "Salt Peanuts" and--from the famed Carnegie Hall concert--"A Night in Tunisia."

Charlie Parker, saxophone. Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet. Teddy Wilson & John Lewis, pianos. Tiny Grimes Quartet. Walter Brown & Jimmy Butts, vocals, & others
