Alto Saxophone – Charlie Parker; Bass – Tommy Porter; Drums – Max Roach; Tenor Saxophone – Lucky Thompson; Trumpet – Kenny Dorham, Miles Davis; Vibraphone – Milt Jackson.

These are radio show transcriptions from 1948-49, when Parker ruled at Manhattan's Royal Roost joint. Although the recording quality isn't superb, some of the tracks come off really well. Charlie plays with a very young Miles Davis on trumpet. Max Roach is the drummer on some tunes, Tadd Dameron is on piano and Milt Jackson makes a guest appearance.

Charlie was born in KC in 1920, got his professional start there as a teen, and was buried there 34 years later after shaking up jazz in a major way. ~William E. Adams

  1. Thanks Mat. It would be nice to know the personnel on tracks 7-10 but I've looked everywhere & can't find out.
