Description
A Deluxe commemorative 3CD set, issued on the occasion of the 50th Anniversary since Charlie Parker's untimely death on the 12th March 1955. The set contains 62 recordings taken from the catalogues of Decca, Savoy, Musicraft, Guild, Dial, Vogue, Comet and Clef, and selected by renowned French alto player Daniel Huck. The recordings have been 24-bit re-mastered and pitch corrected, delivering a sound quality second to none in the realms of re-masterd early recordings. The set is accompanied with an 88 colour-page booklet containing a mini-biography, written introduction to each track, photographs by William P. Gottlieb, Herman Leonard, and Bob Parent, and CD wallets illustrated by French artist, Guiliaume Reynard. This is a set that all self-respecting jazz fans will want to own. They may already have all of these recordings on other releases, but never have they been put together before in such luxurious packaging. Of all the Parker sets on the market, this is definitely one to be put at the top of the list.
