Charlie Parker : Best of the Savoy and Dial Recordings
Genre: Jazz	Dates: 1944-1948

The recordings that changed the face of jazz forever. Intricately woven themes full of hairpin turns springboard "Bird" into breakneck improvs that still sound fresh and stunning a half-century later—hornmen are still imitating him. Case in point: the unaccompanied alto break on "A Night In Tunisia," one of the greatest moments in recorded jazz. He could break hearts on ballads as well. This neat compilation brings together for the first time Parker's best recordings for both labels; his sidemen include Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, and Bud Powell.
