The Essential Charlie Parker
New York, N.Y. : Verve Records, [1992]
Format: Music CD
Description: 1 sound disc (60 min., 14 sec.) : digital ; 4 3/4 in.
Another anthology that has less value due to the exploding reissue market. These cuts were among Parker's most influential compositions and performances, but they've been reissued many times, both in anthology packages and on re-releases of their original albums. But it's part of the Essentials sampler line, and if you only want a little Parker, it's a good choice. ~ Ron Wynn
