Charlie Parker: Live with the Big Bands
Wesley Pfarner | 05/22/2007
(4 out of 5 stars)

"What you get here is 21 tracks of Bird fronting three different big bands.

There are three with Stan Kenton, ten with Woody Herman and eight with Joe

Timer. What you don't get much of are the big bands themselves, so if you

want some good to excellent Bird with big band backing, this is a good

one. If you really are into these bands, buy a different CD, especially

if Bird is not your thing."
