Jay McShann - The Last Of The Blue Devils (1977) [2013 Japan 24-bit Remaster] CD-Rip

Features 24 bit remastering and comes with a mini-description. When Charlie Parker first came to New York in 1942, he was a sideman in Jay McShann's big band. Every jazz fan knows what happened after that – Parker changed the world and McShann became a footnote in Parker's biography. That's too bad, and not just for him; if the 1978 session remastered and reissued on this disc is anything to go by, McShann had much more to offer the world than his role as caregiver to the inventor of bebop.
