Charlie Parker - Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic LP

Verve

A reissue made available for Record Store Day to celebrate the 75th anniversary of this landmark recording. In September of 1949, Charlie Parker crossed paths with Swing Era giants Roy Eldridge and Lester Young onstage at Carnegie Hall. The band – which also included Ray Brown, Hank Jones, Flip Phillips, Buddy Rich and Tommy Turk – wailed on standards and extended, improvised tunes, producing this exciting performance. This LP has been mastered from the original analog sources and pressed on yellow vinyl.
