Music reviews of Tribute to Charlie Parker
Music Review: Burnin!
Rating: 5 Stars
This album is one of the best I have ever purchased. I must own more than 300 Jazz CDs and this ranks in the top 10%! The CD is divided into two parts: a jazz quintet part (sax, trumpet, drums, etc..) and then as the title indicates, with strings. The chronology of Parker's life (which is the entire first part of the CD) as protrayed through this recantation of the book along with musical examples is a brilliant way to get folks to learn a little more about Bird. The second half of the CD is more than impressive as well.The playing on this album is some of the best I have heard. Peter King, inparticular, is an amazing saxophonist, and I wish I had been introduced to his playing sooner. There is little out there by him in the United States (I am assuming this is b/c he is from England), and because of this, I feel he is overlooked. However, his tone sings right through and his licks are as smooth as Stitt's but sound more like Parker's combined with King's improvisational concepts, which are right in the pocket and never "out."
I would highly recommend this album to any Bird and/or Bop fan. Wonderful playing. I hope to hear more from these guys very soon!
