Charlie Parker's Bird at St. Nick's
The improvisational artistry of the founder of bebop captured in a 1955 recording.
This live recording from New York's St. Nick's Pub is a rare record of Parker's performances in his final years. His virtuoso alto saxophone and innovative sense of harmony convey a moment that changed the history of jazz. This is a must-listen album that captures the essence of bebop.
