Charlie Parker's best small band studio recordings from his final period! 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. Pianists Thelonious Monk and John Lewis are also featured, along with Bird's favorite drummer, the exceptional Max Roach. This CD compiles some of the best quartet and quintet studio sides made by the great Charlie Parker (1920-1955) during his final years. Sessions are complete, but only the master takes are included. We have a 1951 quintet studio session with Miles Davis.
