A 28-track collection of mostly unreleased and incredibly rare recordings on 4LP black vinyl box set via Verve/UMe, Sold exclusively as an "RSD First" for Record Store Day Black Friday, November 26th. The set was available at participating independent record shops.
The performances collected on "Bird In L.A", and presented chronologically, are highlighted by the only known recordings from Billy Berg's on December 17, 1945, three previously unknown JATP recordings from the Shrine Auditorium on November 22, 1948 and the complete recordings of the legendary July 1952 party at Jirayr Zorthian's bohemian Altadena ranch. The collection includes comprehensive track info detailing recording dates and personnel and is rounded out with illuminating liner notes by the album's producer, John Burton, who provides an in-depth history of Bird's fruitful time in L.A. as well as the significance of these incredible recordings.
Although Bird and Dizzy performed at Billy Berg's for a two month stretch in 1945, no recordings of the performances have ever surfaced until now, despite being broadcast live on local radio.
