Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (1920-1955) was among the most influential jazz artists ever, and one of the few indisputable geniuses of his time. This set presents the complete master takes from the recording sessions he made with his regular Quintet featuring the equally great Miles Davis on trumpet. Included here are some of Bird’s most admired sides, such as “Billie’s Bounce,” “Now’s the Time,” “Scrapple from the Apple,” and “Donna Lee.” One session presents him on tenor sax, an instrument on which he only rarely recorded.
