Savoy sessions two
Charlie Parker Memorial Album volume two, CBS Realm 52121, contains three different aggregations. The author of the liner notes is fairly dubious about the Tiny Grimes Quartet, saying that, except for Charlie Parker and Clyde Hart, there's little understanding exhibited of bebop. The same would be true of the Slim Galliard outfit, but the vocals add that 'Forties flavor, complete with Flat Foot Floogie (personnel on these include Dizzy Gillespie and Zutty Singleton), and I can tell that the writer is fond of these also. Aggregation three is the Charlie Parker All Stars (Parker, Miles Davis, Bud Powell, Tommy Potter, Max Roach). I wonder whether there's a repository of liner notes for classic issues like these. It would be easy to play the first two albums in this series more than the twice they've been on the turntable this week, but up next will be volume three.
