Free Music Notes for Jazz 'Round Midnight: Charlie Parker Album
Free Music Review: Survey of a Master
Hit: 4 Stars
If this survey is really representative, then Bird never really played anything bad. However, I've heard better stuff from him, like his upbeat rendition of Night and Day. Most of the cuts on this CD are Charlie Parker with orchestra. I have two problems with that: 1) whenever the strings come in, I always imagine that I hear Timmy calling for Lassie in the background; 2) Bird's improvisational playing is so far "beyond" straight orchestral playing that the two don't seem to blend seamlessly. The few small ensemble cuts are the highlights of this piece, but Bird himself is great throughout. I just wouldn't call it, "Best of" because I've heard better from him.
