Title: One of Bird's Best
Review: This is definitely one of Charlie Parker's best albums. The vast majority of Bird fans out there seem to really like this album. But there are a few that look at this album as a cop-out on Bird's part because it is not in the fast-paced bebop style for which he is most well-known. Nothing could be further from the truth. Even though Bird is playing with a string section, everything he plays on here is in his own style. He plays a large selection of all standard tunes and plays every one of them with great feeling. I highly recommend this album to all fans of Bird's music. I also recomend this to fans of classical music as well. Everytime I meet a person who tells me they are into classical music I tell them to get this album and 80% of the time they tell me they already have it and how much they love it. So whether you're a jazz fan, a Bird fan, or just a fan of great music, do yourself a favor and pick this one up.
