Jazz Feature: Four Classic Sessions by Charlie Parker.
from CiTR -- The Jazz Show · host CiTR 101.9 Vancouver
Tonight's Jazz Feature is a bit different as this is our Fundrive Edition of The Jazz Show and I wanted to have a shorter Jazz Feature interspersed with reminders to donate to CITR's Fundrive by going to www.citr.ca/donate. For the Jazz Feature we present four classic recording sessions with the great alto saxophonist and pioneer of Modern Jazz. We will hear these four sessions spanning 1947 to 1953. Charlie Parker will be heard with trumpeter Miles Davis, pianists Bud Powell, Duke Jordan, John Lewis and Al Haig and bassists Tommy Potter, Curley Russell and Percy Heath and master drummer Max Roach. That will be tonight's Jazz Feature : a small tribute to Bird.
