    The Immortal Charlie Parker - The complete LP + 15 bonus tracks - Collector's Digipak Series with comprehensive booklet

    Alto saxophonist Charlie Parker (1920-1955) was among the most influential jazz artists ever, and one of the few indisputable geniuses of his time. This set presents the complete original LP The Immortal Charlie Parker (Savoy MG-12001) along with most of the master takes from his other studio recording sessions for Herman Lubinsky's Savoy label. Included here are some of Bird's most admired sides, such as "Koko," "Parker's Mood," and "Donna Lee." One session presents him on tenor sax, an instrument on which he only rarely recorded.

    Charlie Parker - alto & tenor sax
    Collective personnel includes:
    Miles Davis - trumpet; Dizzy Gillespie - trumpet & piano; Bud Powell, John Lewis, Duke Jordon - piano; Nelson Boyd, Curley Russell, Tommy Potter - bass; Max Roach - drums

    Savoy sessions, New York and Detroit between 1944 & 1948
