 Notes & Reviews
 
 
Full title is: 20th Century Masters - The Millennium Collection: The Best of Charlie Parker


Charlie 'The Bird' Parker is one of the most important names in history of jazz, if not American music in general. Almost single-handedly he turned what was mostly a dance music, an entertainment, into an art form - his playing & unique approach to influence generations of musicians to come. Parker's Millennium edition features the highlights from his recordings for the Mercury & Verve labels, 1947 to 1953, essentially the heart of the great artist's career. The collection includes tracks with small & big bands as well as several from his famed sessions with strings. Chronologically sequenced, from 1947's 'The Bird' from the Mercury album The Jazz Scene through 'My Little Suede Shoes' & 'Loverman' to his 1953 reprise of his classic 'Now's The Time,' all twelve tracks are classics from one of the greatest.
