CHARLIE PARKER
ROCKLAND PALACE DANCE HALL, NEW YORK |  |
Description:
2 CD set. Among its many highlights is the fact that Bird is the only horn featured throughout and he is in wonderful form!, and that it presents Parker's only recorded versions of tunes like "Sly Mongoose" and "Gold Rush". As a bonus, three rare Birdland broadcasts, including the only existing collaborations of the saxophonist with pianist Kenny Drew. Includes 12 page booklet. The Rockland Palace was a Dance Hall, and September 26, 1952 was a special occasion. The event lasted for more than five hours and Parker performed multiple sets, sometimes in a quintet format with Mundell Lowe on guitar Bird is the only horn here, sometimes adding a string section. |
