Fragments of a legend that laid the blueprint for modern jazz
A collection of Charlie Parker's recordings for Dial Records. A historic recording documenting the birth and maturity of bebop.
The phrases he unleashes on the alto saxophone, full of unconventional speed and creativity, are still astonishing even today. It is no exaggeration to say that the entire future of jazz music is condensed into this single song's short recording time.
