| Famous recordings from 1949-50, which caused surprise at the time and controversy ever since: lush string arrangements of mainly standards with Bird, in most cases, playing with relaxed restraint, infront of the Orchestras of Neal Hefti, Jimmy Carroll & Joe Lippman. Parker obviously enjoyed these sessions and plays beautifully. "Just Friends" and "Autumn in New York" even became hits, in their day. 24-bit remastered. |
