With 70 tracks spread across almost 3 and a half hours of music, the 4th volume of the sumptuous complete works of Charlie Parker, directed by Alain Tercinet for the label Frémeaux & Associés, reveals not only a 5-star repertoire but also a 5-star cast. On recordings dating from 1947, Bird (who was only 27 years old!) was surrounded by greats such as Miles Davis, Max Roach, Lennie Tristano, Ray Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Fats Navarro and Buddy Rich… and they’re only the most famous ones. On some tracks Parker even swaps his legendary alto sax for a tenor. Be-bop was in its golden age and the masters blended virtuosity with ingenious playing, dense improvisations and the classic beauty of the themes. Bringing together recordings from radio broadcasts, live recordings and sessions for the label Dial, Volume 4: Bird of Paradise highlights the ease with which this band of masters juggle with swing. And on tracks like Dizzy Atmosphere and Groovin' High, the exchange between Bird’s sax and Dizzy’s trumpet is just mind-blowing!
