Music reviews of Genius of Charlie Parker
Music Review: The Bird Can Fly!
Rating: 4 Stars
This collection comes from Parker's Savoy and Dial recordings. Unlike the After Midnight compilation (Verve - also reviewed by me), these two CD's feature ONLY small groups (with sidemen like Miles Davis, Dizzie Gillespie,. . .). The songs are mostly very up-tempo, and the solos are barn burners. These songs include all the instrumental standards most commonly associated with Parker, like Ornithology, Scrapple from the Apple, and KoKo, so this is a great way to get them all in one place for a very reasonable price. The production quality varies between fairly good and mediocre - it can be difficult to hear piano and bass, particularly on the radio performances. That quibble aside, this collection is a very affordable way to buy a jam-packed survey of Parker's post-orchestral work.
