(5 out of 5 stars)

"There are so many Charlie Parker CD's out there , it can be confusing. This one believe me, captures Parker in peak form. Recorded in 1949-50, this CD is more melodic and romantic than the bebop recordings he did with Dizzy Gillespie and others. The Song Is You, and I Remember You are worth the price of admission alone. A lot of bebop is nervous and edgy. Not this one. It is a beautiful CD and one of the finest examples of Parker's legendary talent. This one, Charlie Parker With Strings and Yardbird Suite are the three best Parker CD's to own, in my opinion. Parker makes it sound so easy and natural, but he was perhaps the most innovative and influential improvisor of all time. It was like he invented breathing and we now all take it for granted."
