The genius of Bird and strings is hard to describe – an edgey approach that really goes far past most other "jazz with strings" projects, not a ballad-driven one, but a tensely strained one that brings out some of Parker's best soloing, almost in a moody soundtrack-type way. The ... read moreLP, Vinyl record album

As you'd expect from the title, this one features Cecil Payne performing a number of Charlie Parker compositions – and for the Charlie Parker label, no less!

A pretty strange concept for an album – a bunch of LA jazz players get together and do versions of songs usually associated with the south!

(Stereo pressing, still sealed, with light wear, a fairly large hole in front from sticker removal, and a Factory Sealed sticker in back. Cover has a torn cutout notch at the bottom right corner and is bumped at the corners of the spine.)
An unusual live date for Oscar Peterson – in that it wasn't actually officially recorded by Verve, but done by a fan and handed over to Norman Granz at a later date!
