专辑简介
An early, and hard to find, release from the excellent Masters of Jazz series. Here is Bird in his early days, and with the likes of Efferge Ware who taught him much about theory and harmony; with Bud Powell in Cootie Williams outfit, and even recordings of him playing along with Benny Goodman and Hazel Scott records.
The first two volumes of Young Bird, an outstanding multi-disc overview of the early career of alto saxophone genius Charlie "Bird" Parker, cover the war years 1940-44, when swing was the order of the day and big bands were at their peak. In fact, the earliest tracks here feature the unusual kick of hearing Parker's unmistakable tones--his musical voice seems to have sprung forth fully formed--in the middle of otherwise standard big band fare by Jay McShann and his Orchestra, including an assortment of big band standards. Most of the second disc covers tracks from Parker's earliest days as a leader, featuring several lineups of the Charlie Parker Trio. Parker is mostly exploring the blues here, but the Lester Young influence starts to take hold over the course of these tracks, and by the set's third version of "Body and Soul," Parker and cohorts are playing pure bop.
"...some remarkable performances by the young Charlie Parker with pianist Jay McShann's Orchestra. First Bird is heard at the age of 20 with an octet from McShann's big band playing six standards and a blues; his solos on "Lady Be Good" and particularly "Honeysuckle Rose" are classic. Then, after Parker's early version of "Cherokee" from 1942 with the house band at Monroe's Uptown House, one gets to hear what Bird really sounded like on a typical night with Jay McShann's big band. Parker's studio recordings with McShann's Orchestra were three-minute affairs that generally gave him a chorus at the most but, on this 1942 broadcast, Bird really stretches out on a few of the songs, particularly "I'm Forever Blowing Bubbles," and shows just how advanced a player he was at that early stage.
