Description

The legendary Charlie Parker at his best.  These are among the few recordings Parker made during a brief period when he was able to control his heroin habit, and his sobriety and clarity of mind are evident in his playing.  Parker stated that, of his own records, "Bird With Strings" was his favorite.  Although using classical music instrumentation with jazz musicians was not entirely original, this was the  FIRST major work where a composer of bebop was matched with a string orchestra. Charlie Parker With Strings sold better than his other releases, and his version of "Just Friends" is seen as one of his best performances. Songs on this album are:  "Summertime", "I Didn't Know What Time It Was",  "Just Friends",  "Everything Happens To Me", "April In Paris", "If I Should Lose You". This Near Mint 3 record set is rare and hard to find in this 1949 condition.  Great collectable set.     Happy bidding
