One of Charlie Parker's best records in his short 35 year legacy! Feb 11, 2006
By Johnny Boy
"The Record Collector"
Charlie Parker will always be the greatest saxaphone player who ever lived. This CD is a fine example of why he is regarded as the best(and always will be). This the REAL DEAL people, the REAL DEAL. In 2004, Charlie Parker became one of the many stars to get a compilation in the 20th Century Masters The Millenium Collection CDs. Read on for further details.
The Millenium Collections are always great. They remaster the tracks 24.bit so the sound is awesome. Charlie Parker's compilation is cool, just like he was.
In this CD, you get several tracks you can't find easily. Among them are Autumn In New York and the underrated gem Just Friends. Both of which (in my view) are true hits. It's a shame they haven't included these 2 tracks of The Bird on other Best-ofs.
Charlie Parker has recorded on several record labels such as Dial, His Masters Voice, Savoy and more. In 1959, 4 years after his death, Verve remastered them and started releasing Charlie Parker vinyls on the Verve label. This CD is a fine example only it sounds a heck of a lot better! And when you're looking for the best-sounding Charlie Parker CD out there, this CD takes the cake. You can tell just by listening to [...] Music Samplers.
Overall this CD is highly reccommended! If you liked this one, here are some others you may like:
The Complete Charlie Parker: 1950
The Essential Charlie Parker
Charlie Parker Ken Burns JAZZ Collection
All of those are classic Parker CDs. But in terms of sound and finding the CD that will appeal to the casual and hard core fans alike, this one is the one to pick.
Highlights for me: 'K.C. Blues' and 'Just Friends'. ONE OF THE BEST CHARLIE PARKER CDS OUT IN THE MARKET!
Charlie Parker (August 29, 1920-March 12, 1955). Enjoy!!!

Buy It Sep 14, 2007
By J. S. Geers
"saintsday"
This is close to as much great music as you can buy for ten bucks, but my preference is for The Essential Charlie Parker for a dollar less. Part of that is the longer and better remastered solo on Star Eyes, not one of Parker's best known, but a real gem.
Nobody has ever displayed the complete mastery of the alto saxophone in jazz as well as Bird, and this disc gives you a good introduction as to why he is at the top of the jazz pantheon.

Great Introduction CD to Bird Oct 16, 2009
By dwood78
This budget CD is a great way to introduce you to the music of Charlie Parker. It covers his later recordings under Norman Granz's supervision thus nothing from Dial & Savoy Records.
These 12 tracks basically gives us a look into the World of Charlie Parker. From his recordings with strings ("Just Friends" & "Autumn in New York") to a couple of songs he did for Dial/Savoy that he later re-recorded ("Loverman", "Now's the Time", & the closer) & even some Latin jazz (My Little Suede Shoes). The recordings are remastered to a T- doesn't sound like they've been taken from 78 RPM records. The musicians present in these songs are a who's who of bebop greats like Ray Brown, Dizzy Gillespie, Monk, Miles Davis, Buddy Rich, Max Roach, & John Lewis to name a few. After hearing his music, I sometimes wonder where Parker would have taken jazz had he not died so young.
In addition to the disc, there's some photos & an interesting essay that comes with the liner notes. Be forewarned: once you hear Bird's music you'll want more.
 Bird's Best Apr 20, 2012
By Musicman
This Best of Charlie Parker offers a good selection of some of Bird's best songs. I recommend this album for anyone who wants to get to know the music of Charlie Parker. This collection gathers material from 1947-53, the heart of his very significant recording career. Unfortunately it is not the most complete collection of his best as it does not include some of his standards like "Ornithology" and "Yardbird Suite" which are well known favorites of his fans. Nevertheless, this 20th Century Masters CD comes with great liner notes and photos of this very important jazz musician. Get it and enjoy!

The event was simply billed as "Willie Nelson Sings the Blues," but the historic two-night stand on January 12 and 13, 2007 at Jazz at Lincoln Center was far more than that. Call it a summit meeting between two American icons, Willie Nelson & Wynton Marsalis, two of the most significant figures in modern-day country and jazz, who discovered common ground in their love for jazz standards and the blues. Their performance stirred the sounds of New Orleans, Nashville, Austin and New York City into a brilliantly programmed mix that was equal parts down-home and cosmopolitan, with plenty of swing and just a touch of melancholy. To say that these shows were a hot ticket would be an understatement. Luckily, the tapes were rolling and the results of this unique collaboration now constitute the Blue Note album Two Men With The Blues for everyone who couldn't cram into The Allen Room.
