Charlie Parker - Complete Jazz at Massey Hall (jazz)(flac)[rogercc][h33t]

CHARLIE PARKER COMPLETE JAZZ AT THE MASSEY HALL Format:Flac One of the most famous live recordings in jazz history, this May 1953 concert from Toronto brought together five of bebop's greatest figures in alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (credited here as "Charlie Chan" in a purposely transparent attempt to sidestep Parker's exclusive recording arrangement with another record company), trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Bud Powell, drummer Max Roach, and bassist Charles Mingus. Released following Parker's death two years after the date, the recording finds him in remarkable form, his playing robust, pointed, and witty. And although each participant is a band leader, composer, and groundbreaking stylist on his instrument, the performance demonstrates that Parker remained first among equals. Compositionally, Jazz at Massey Hall leans heavily on the bebop book developed by Gillespie, and includes "Salt Peanuts," "Wee," and "A Night in Tunisia." Also featured are Tadd Dameron's "Hot House," the Ellington standard "Perdido," and "All the Things You Are." Initially released on Debut Records, a label co-owned by Mingus and Roach Tracklist: 1. Perdido 2. Salt Peanuts 3. All The things You Are 4. 52nd Street Theme 5. Drum Conversation 6. Cherokee 7. Embraceable You 8. Hallelujah 9. Sure Thing 10. Lullaby of Birdland 11.
