Charlie Parker - Bird In Kansas City - Import CD

Credits:

Charlie Parker

Description:

The relationship between modern jazz pioneer Charlie Parker and his hometown of Kansas City, Missouri, was complicated by a history of racial segregation and strong ties to family and friends, but a collection of rare recordings from 1941-1951 in his hometown before Byrd became famous was This new set of rare recordings from 1941 to 1951, most of which are previously unreleased and some of which were never even known to exist, showcases Bird's transformation from a florid soloist with the Jay McShann Band to a brilliant improviser who would dominate the jazz world for decades to come. It is a record of his transformation into a brilliant improviser who would go on to dominate the jazz world for decades. In addition to two previously unreleased SP recordings with the McShann Band, the album includes two sets of private recordings with local musicians (at Bird's friend Phil Baxter's home and at Vic Damon's studio).【パーソネル】 Charlie Parker (as) unknown (b) unknown (ds) Recorded: July 1951 at the home of Phil Baxter in Kansas City, MOCharlie Parker (as; Efferge Ware (g) Edward "Little Phil" Phillips (ds) Recorded: probably June 1944 at Vic Damon's Transcription Studios in Kansas City, MO.Jay McShann and His Orchestra: Jay McShann (p, director) Orville Minor (tp) Charlie Parker (as) Joe Coleman (vos) and probably Bernard Anderson, Harold Bruce, Joe Baird (tb) John Jackson (as) Harry Ferguson, Bob Mabane (ts) Gene Ramey (b) Gus Johnson (ds) Recorded: February 6, 1941 in Kansas City, MO.
