Charlie Parker - Complete Bird At The Bandbox (2012)

EU-only release containing all existing broadcasts presenting Charlie Parker at the Bandbox club in New York. He is featured here in unusual contexts, with the Bill Harris/Chubby Jackson Herd and with organist Milt Buckner, as well as a whole show in a quartet format. As a bonus, we have added all existing music from a jam session recorded in 1951 at Christy's Restaurant, in Framingham, Massachusetts, as well as a rare session taped that same year at the Diplomat Hotel in New York. This collection contains Parker's only existing version of 'Your Father's Moustache', as well as all of his surviving versions of 'Caravan'.
