Free Music Notes for Charlie Parker with Strings: The Master Takes

Free Music Review: These recordings set the standard
Hit: 5 Stars

These recordings from 1947-49 set the standard for "jazz with strings". Parker's playing is brilliant, as usual.
The strings add context and a luxuriant mood to Parker's sound. Only Stan Getz's "Focus" from 1961 compares in quality to "Charlie Parker with Strings: The Master Takes". Both are pivotal in the development of the "Third Stream" genre of jazz. Both occupy special places in my collection.

Charlie Parker with Strings: The Master Takes Poster

Charlie Parker welcomed the opportunity to record standards with a small string ensemble in 1949, and the results are stunning, his liquid alto soaring over the tuneful and only occasionally stiff arrangements. Along the way, he invests tunes like "I Didn't Know What Time It Was" and "Laura" with a unique blend of bluesy realism and mercurial improvisation. The CD adds live versions from a Carnegie Hall concert, and there are also two brilliant versions of Neal Hefti's "Repetition." The 1947 version has Bird flying spontaneously over the dense orchestration of horns, strings, and Latin percussion. --Stuart Broomer
