The Essence of Bebop, Left by Charlie Parker
This is an important document in jazz history, collecting the original recordings of Parker, known as the Bird.
His innovative alto saxophone playing established the new jazz language known as bebop and had a profound influence on subsequent generations. His fast phrasing and complex harmonic progressions revolutionized the jazz scene of the 1940s. Released on CD in 1988, this is a rare album that allows you to enjoy Parker's genius improvisations in crystal clear sound quality.
