DavePike/CharlesMcPherson —
Bluebird ... CD Timeless (Netherlands), 1988. Used ...
Temporarily Out Of Stock
Beautiful work from one of our favorite vibes players – a return to basic hardbop from DavePike, recorded in conjunction with soulful altoist CharlesMcPherson! Given the title, and the tunes, the set's ostensibly a tribute to Charlie Parker – but the tunes themselves are played in more open, introspective versions than Bird might have done, especially considering the use of the vibes! In fact, McPherson drops out for a number of tracks on the set, letting Pike take the main solos on some of the tunes, and even stepping aside for one piano trio-only number as well. Titles include "Old Folks", "Anthropology", "Ornithology", and "Bluebird". CD
