Classic early CharlieParker on Verve – and one that may well support one of the strangest cover illustrations ever done by the great David Stone Martin! The image of a bird-headed Parker blowing alto is more than compelling enough – but inside, the music is even better – pulled from a variety of different early Parker sessions for Norman Granz – showing some of the real early strengths of his sound! Tracks include "Si Si", "Swedish Schnapps", "Back Home Blues", and "Lover Man". 7-inch, Vinyl record
Early work on Savoy – with Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, John Lewis and Bud Powell on piano, and Max Roach on drums! 7-inch, Vinyl record

(Sleeve has some ring and edge wear, minor surface wrinkles, smal split in the top seam, and is bumped at the bottom right corner.)
Dizzy and strings – a surprisingly great combination! Although it was CharlieParker who first made famous the modernist "jazz with strings" approach, Dizzy does wonderfully here in the format – working in similar fashion with edgey backing from the "Operatic String Orchestra" in sessions recorded in Paris in the early 50s! The material was originally only issued as a number of separate 78rpm singles, but is packaged here as a 10" LP for the US market. Titles include "My Old Flame", "The Man I Love", and "Night & Day". 7-inch, Vinyl record
(Sleeve has split seams, a name in pen, and light surface wear.)
The set includes 2 long tracks – titled "The Opener" and "Lester Leaps In". Players include CharlieParker, Lester Young, Hank Jones, Roy Eldridge, and Ray Brown. 7-inch, Vinyl record
