• Charlie Parker’s best small band studio recordings from his final period (1950-53). These outstanding tracks have the finest sound quality of Bird's entire discography.

• Presented here are two superlative quartet sessions, as well as his last quintet studio reunions with Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie. (The sessions are complete, but only the master takes are included.)

• Pianists Thelonious Monk, Al Haig, Hank Jones and John Lewis are also featured, along with bassists Percy Heath, Teddy Kotick, Ray Brown and Curly Russell; and drummers Kenny Clarke, Buddy Rich and Bird’s favourite drummer, the exceptional Max Roach. Trumpeter Red Rodney also features, and on one track, Coleman Hawkins.

• Total Time: 75:13 - 25 tracks - Includes 12-page booklet.
