This compilation whittles Charlie Parker’s output on the Savoy and
Dial labels down to 20 essential tracks. The booklet is certainly
impressive for a best-of item; producer Orrin Keepnews offers a
complete sessionography, richly informative track-by-track
annotation, and an introductory essay. Interestingly, he includes
several originally unissued takes as representative of Parker’s
best and elects to scrap the 1946 Dial session that yielded a
notoriously smacked-out reading of «Lover Man» and ended with
Parker being institutionalized. Listeners who can’t be bothered
with endless alternate takes won’t find any here, but devotees will
want to seek out the full set, The Complete Savoy and Dial Studio
Recordings 1944-1948, also brought forth by Savoy in 2002. ~ David
