Charlie Parker
The Long Lost Bird Live Afro-CuBop Recordings
(RockBeat, ROC-3460)
This set gathers 18 selections from saxophone great Charlie Parker. All the recordings were captured in the late 1940s and early '50s at such storied venues as Carnegie Hall and Birdland in New York, The Jubilee in Los Angeles, and the Portland Civic Auditorium. Focused on experiments in Afro-Cuban fusion, Parker is joined by a dazzling array of jazz legends including Dizzy Gillespie, Milt Jackson, Art Blakey, Woody Herman, Stan Kenton, Red Rodney, and others. The package includes essays by rock keyboardist Keith Emerson and contemporary jazz saxophonist Cory Weeds. While some of these tracks have previously appeared on other albums, this is the first time they have been gathered on 180-gram double vinyl in a gatefold sleeve. This title is currently available on CD from Liberation Hall.
Various Artists
Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall
(Liberation Hall, LIB-5125)
Recorded November 21, 1962, on a rainy night at New York's Carnegie Hall, this gathering of Brazilian musical legends was the idea of Sidney Frey, President of Audio Fidelity Records. Two months before the concert, Frey had traveled to Brazil to recruit performers. His trip yielded results as Sergio Mendes, Carmen Costa, Bola Sete, José Paulo, Luiz Bonfa, Joao Gilberto, Oscar Castro-Neves, and others, were booked for the concert, and eventually displayed their virtuosic talents to a packed house of 3,000 fans. Out of print for decades, Bossa Nova at Carnegie Hall returns in a limited edition 180-gram double vinyl pressing. The CD arrives in stores May 12.
