In honor of Charlie Parker month, a little bebop with Diz at the Hot House, 1952:

3:36 of scorching, swinging jazz. I wish the volume was better mixed (can hardly hear the bass, nor much of the drum), but at least the brass is clear.

You can’t really go wrong adding some Charlie Parker to your music library, there are collections and box sets for every budget. You could even pick up 78s, if you were willing to pay the price1

Such as:



“Best of The Complete Savoy & Dial Studio Recordings” (Charlie Parker)


“The Complete Verve Master Takes” (Charlie Parker)

Footnotes:
