Through the miracle of modern technology and countless hours of studio toil, producer Lennie Niehaus matches original solos by alto sax titan Charlie "Bird" Parker with accompaniment by modern players. The sidemen playing with the long-dead legend include bassists Ron Carter and Ray Brown, drummer John Guerin, and trumpeter Jon Faddis. It's a treat to hear Bird's brilliance in crystal-clear stereo, although the too-loud crowd noise from the original recordings on four of the 11 tracks is disconcerting. The soundtrack is from a celluloid tribute by jazz fan Clint Eastwood. ~Mark Allan

Roy Brown (vocals); Pee Wee Crayton (vocals, guitar); Ron Thompson (guitar); Mark Naftalin (piano).

Rare live performance from one of the greatest of all Blues singers of the late 1940's and early 50's. Roy Brown had returned to performing and recording in the early 80's when this recording was made thanks to reissues of his hits by a record label in Sweden. He was a huge influence over emerging soul artists especially James Brown who recorded several of his songs. Blues guitarist Pee Wee Crayton guests.

thank you kempen.
