With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's still impossible on a single disc to achieve a thorough picture of Bird's influence. However, you can't go wrong with "Ko-Ko," "Ornithology," "Anthropology," "Now's the Time," "Lover Man," and "Yardbird Suite," all classic Parker mid- to late-'40s bebop sides on Savoy and Dial. Also highlighted are "Just Friends" from the controversial release with strings, and early performances as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's All Star Quintet and Jay McShann's Orchestra. While it's impossible to sum up the history of Parker on a single disc and aficionados will find nothing new, the highlights here keep the novice listener interested enough to continue searching out more material. ~ Al Campbell Musical Guests Dizzy Gillespie Miles Davis Jay McShann Howard McGhee Mitch Miller Duke Jordan Ray Brown Max Roach   Compilation Appearances Complete Cole Porter Songbooks Complete Jazz At The Philharmo Seven 1946 Changing The Tune Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Instrumental History Of Jazz Complete Johnny Mercer Songboo Vol. 1-Downhome Music & Entert Talented Mr. Ripley Super Horns Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Best Of Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Harlem Saturday Night Classic Jazz Jazzlegends Savoy At 60 Stardust Collection (Limited Edition) Birth Of Be Bop Latin Jazz: la Commbinacion Perfecta Bop Lives Classic Jazz-Jazz Greats Award Winning Original Artists 40th Anniversary Edition Bebop 1 Bebop 3 Rock & Roll Country Style 1949 Bop Look & Listen How High Moon 1947 Pennies From Heaven 1948 (bonus Tra Tease:beat Of Burlesque You Ain't Talkin To Me: Charlie Poole Big Band Swing Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Christmas Remixed, Vol. 2 Re-bop: The Savoy Remixes Cafe Jazz Any Way The Wind Blows / O.s.t.
