Customer Reviews

Nice little collection of Charlie Parker tunes
This is a great little collection of Charlie Parker studio performances, ranging from his work with small Jazz groups to that with Norman Granz's lush string orchestra then some with an amazing Afro-Cuban band. This would be handy if you were driving somewhere and did not want to keep changing CDs from the four CD box set.

I commend it to you!
