You can't beat this compilation
You can't beat this compilation for price, the number of recordings and sound quality. Although the first CD has some hiss the other 4 are fine. My favorite disc is the 3rd one with Warming Up a Riff, Billie's Bounce, Now's The Time, Ko Ko, Ornithology, Night In Tunisia. Plus the really funny Slim's Jam which I find hysterical.
What can you say about Charlie Parker? There's just something about his sound and his style that once it gets into you, you can't ever forget it. He's my favorite soloist of all time. I never get tired of listening to him. If you are new to bebop and want to know what it was all about, you might want to try out a single CD to save money. But if you know something about it, this is the compilation to get.
Long live Charlie Parker!
best set out there?
JSP is known throughout the music collector world for having the highest in sound quality (for a relatively small label devoted only to reissues, box sets etc). This set includes all of the master takes Bird appeared on on the Savoy, Dial, Guild, Bel-Tone, and Comet labels, during the years 1944-48, plus a disc containing most of his pre-bop recordings, including demos, some of which are very rare (though not very interesting in my opinion). The main stuff, '44-'48, is some of the most important music recorded ever, and consequently it's not hard to come by- what makes this set unique is the combination of price, quality, and completeness. This set can be compared with "The Complete Savoy & Dial Master Takes", which has only 3 discs and costs about $50. Granted, the sound quality on that professional reissue set is noticeably superior, but JSP is nearly there and like I said, better than MOST. You could also compare this set to the similarly-priced Proper box set, "Boss Bird", four discs covering the same ground, with highly inferior sound quality- and it's a little more expensive! For one who's never dug Charlie Parker, I'd get a single disc, like "The Legendary Dial Masters vol. 1" or even a general comp like his volume of the "Ken Burns' Jazz" series. If you find yourself a total Parker freak, the step after that would be "The Complete Savoy and Dial Studio Recordings" which coves the same ground, with highest quality of all, plus every known alternate take, demo, etc- 8 discs, $80, and increasingly harder to come by. OR, if you'd prefer to spend $25 to get pretty much the same thing (minus alt takes and a little sound), this box set will definitely do.

Bird was the greatest altoist, period. These are some rare sides with Bird with a vocalist...Bird Lives
