Tracks list

This album was originally released in the mid-50s on the Clef album and it
contains much of Clefâ€™s Parker singles from 1951 when Bird was playing at
his best. Itâ€™s a wonderful collection of singles all arranged in logical
succession with no weird volume or sound quality leaps as you go track to track.
Those who are familiar with some Parker CD collections will know what I mean by
incongruent track succession.

Side one opens with four tracks that feature a young Miles on trumpet, as well
as Max Roach on drums. Milesâ€™ playing at that time was very clean and
precise, revealing the influence of Clifford Brown, as well as Milesâ€™
classical background. All of these tracks are great, with â€œShe Roteâ€
being the ultimate in bebop styled abstraction and modernity. The last two cuts
on this side are exotica pop numbers with a vocal choir and small orchestra
arrangement. by Gil Evans. Side two features Red Rodney on trumpet, possibly
Parkerâ€™s most cohesive and inspiring sideman outside of Dizzy Gillespie.
This group also features a young John Lewis on piano before he became known as a
purveyor of 3rd stream chamber jazz.
