Product description
Product Description
Parker, Charlie
Amazon.ca
Donner en un CD et en douze titres une idée fidèle de la production de l'oiseau rare que fut Charlie Parker, dit "Bird", même en se limitant - comme c'est le cas ici - à la période 1949- 1953, est une tâche ardue, voire titanesque. Cette compilation, qui puise uniquement dans le catalogue des labels du producteur et organisateur de spectacles Norman Granz, réussit remarquablement la gageure, rassemblant aussi bien les flamboyants "Now's the Time" ou "Mohawk" que le tragique "Lover Man", des thèmes enregistrés avec un orchestre à cordes que d'autres pris sur le vif lors des jam sessions des fameux JATP. Soit un bon aperçu - dans la mesure où on peut donner un aperçu du génie - de la diversité de contextes dans lesquels Parker balada son alto inspiré, entouré au gré des plages de partenaires aussi divers que Miles Davis ou Dizzy Gillespie, Buddy Rich ou Max Roach, Lester Young ou Thelonious Monk. Une excellente introduction à l'univers de l'Oiseau, mais on ne saurait en rester là avec un créateur de ce calibre. A suivre, donc ! --Thierry Quénum

"Bird" is a spectacular introduction to this jazz legend given the framework. Parker is featured in some of his most accessible saxophone playing (all songs coming in at five minutes or less except for the last, live track) and intriguing recorded settings. You get him in ballad mode, with his supple melody on the sparse "Lover Man" bettering his lush movie themes "Laura" and "April In Paris," and the chestnut "Just Friends." (The small-combo harder tracks are preferred, but Parker, like lablemate Billie Holiday, enjoyed the prestige of playing in front of strings). You get him as songwriter and lightning-quick blues riffmeister, with superb solos on his "Now's The Time," his signature song "The Bird," "KC Blues," and an interlock with trumpeter Red Rodney on "Blues for Alice."
Most of all, you get Charlie Parker as bandleader, leading be-bop's Mount Olympians (Miles, Monk, Diz, Rich, Roach) to some of their finest, most cohesive early work. Hear Miles Davis on "KC Blues." Hear Lester Young on his rollicking, 12-minute Carnegie Hall live track "Lester Leaps In," featuring some of the most superb live recorded jazz ever from Parker, trumpeter Roy Eldridge, and trombonist Tommy Turk/ You will wish you could have among the grateful that late summer Carnegie Hall night in 1946. But then hear "Mohawk," featuring a scatting Dizzy Gillespie solo and one nearly as good from Monk, for the jazz equivalent of what St. Peter must have felt witnessing the Transfiguration.
"Bird," despite inconsistent sound quality and fair but not great liner notes, can be essential as budget-priced eye-opener to Parker's deep, rich catalogue or to the bebop jazz form itself. Those wanting to reach further should get any Parker's Dial or Savoy best-of, or Parker's label-crossing entry in Ken Burns' "Jazz" set for more from this bedrock figure.

当たり前ですがw
ナウ・ザ・タイムはバスドラムの音が録音されてます。
マイクは1本の筈ですが、どうやって録音できたんでしょう?
一曲づつも短くて、だらけず全曲、捨て曲なし。良いです。妙にテンション上がります。それも密かに。
