Description
Note that Charlie Parker was called "Charlie Chan" (yes, with quotes) for these sessions. He had an exclusive contract with another company and had to use a pseudonym, not unusual in the 50s. e.g: "Art Salt" aks Art Pepper.
“This set lives up to its title by including such interesting sessions as the 1953 date on which Miles Davis welcomed the two tenors of Sonny Rollins and Charlie Parker; other meetings with Rollins in 1951 and 1956; and a moody 1955 date with bassist Charles Mingus, trombone, vibes, and drums (a young Elvin Jones). Highlights include ‘No Line,’ ‘Vierd Blues,’ ‘"In Your Own Sweet Way,’ ‘Nature Boy,’ and ‘There's No You.’ It's classic if often overlooked music from a variety of immortal jazzmen” Scott Yanow-All Music Guide
