Charlie Parker

Charlie Parker with Strings

Charlie Parker loved all kinds of music, and had always wanted to record with strings. Under the auspices of Norman Granz, Bird not only fulfilled his dream, but created music that is, in the worlds of the All Music Guide, 'lush, poetic, and romantic as hell.' Amen.

Here are twelve of the legendary Charlie Parker With Strings original jazz studio ensemble arrangements! These charts are among the most famous in the jazz canon, present interesting instrumentations, and are both beautiful and timeless.

They are all also available individually and please click on the titles for complete information.

We do have a few others available, so please let us know if you might like to make a substitution or add to the set; these twelve have been the most popular in the time we have been offering them.
