Title: Standard bird
Review: Some jazz "purists" would argue that the idea that Charlie Parker would ever play popular standards is tantamount to selling out. I would suggest otherwise. "Bird" added the same new, creative dimension to his recordings of standards as he did with anything else. Furthermore, in doing so, he introduced his music to a group which heretofore had never heard it and may have never unless they could hear some tunes that they actually had heard of. My only complaint about this CD is that most of the standards heard here are not the most well known of all time. But that isn't terribly important.
Is the review positive or negative?
