Charlie Parker • Plays Standards - Verve Jazz Masters 28



Review
Standards made up one third of the trinity of Bird's repertoire, along with his own serpentine reworkings of the blues and originals consisting of new melodic statements over the chord progressions of his favorite standards. The emphasis here is on the first category, focusing on the kind of Broadway tunes jazz musicians have been remaking since the '20s.

As with most of Verve's Parker compilations, STANDARDS' material is drawn from various kinds of recording sessions, presenting a cross-section of Parker's approach to standards. More accurately, the set is a cross-section of producer Norman Granz's ideas for recording the altoist in the early '50s. Not that Bird was an unwilling participant. In Harvey Pekar's liner notes, Parker is quoted as saying: "I was looking for new ways of saying things musically...I asked for strings as far back as 1941." There are, in fact, four recordings with strings here (including a live "Easy to Love"), one with the Dave Lambert Singers (pretty goofy), three extended jams from JAZZ AT THE PHILHARMONIC, and a handful of small group sessions-some with Latin percussion.

Reseña
Los estándares constituían un tercio de la trinidad del repertorio de Bird, junto con sus propias reelaboraciones serpentinas del blues y originales que consistían en nuevas declaraciones melódicas sobre las progresiones de acordes de sus estándares favoritos. El énfasis aquí está en la primera categoría, centrándose en el tipo de temas de Broadway que los músicos de jazz han estado rehaciendo desde los años 20.

Como en la mayoría de las compilaciones de Verve Parker, el material de STANDARDS se extrae de varios tipos de sesiones de grabación, presentando una muestra representativa de la aproximación de Parker a los standards. Más exactamente, el conjunto es una muestra representativa de las ideas del productor Norman Granz para la grabación del altovista a principios de los 50. No es que Bird fuera un participante reacio. En las notas de Harvey Pekar, se cita a Parker diciendo: "Buscaba nuevas formas de decir las cosas musicalmente... Pedí cuerdas desde 1941." Hay, de hecho, cuatro grabaciones con cuerdas aquí (incluyendo un "Easy to Love" en vivo), una con los Dave Lambert Singers (bastante bobo), tres extensiones de JAZZ AT THE PHILHARMONIC, y un puñado de sesiones de grupos pequeños, algunas con percusión latina.
