Free Music Review: The Best Bird Compilation
Hit: 5 Stars
"The Genius of Charlie Parker" is the perfect compilation for those interested in discovering Bird's music. On Verve compilations like "Essential Charlie Parker" you get a quintet track, then a strings track and then a big band track, and the result is a lack of continuity. This CD takes all of Bird's Master Takes for Savoy and brings them together. Another bonus is you don't have to program around umpteen alternate takes, which unless you're a jazz fanatic is probably a welocome relief. The only detractor on this release is the last few tracks featuring Slim Gaillard on vocals. The music is good but the often spoken lyrics seem to be trapped in their time period. The rest of the music of course is timeless.
