Charlie Parker • Charlie Parker At Storyville

Review by Scott Yanow
This LP contains two broadcasts featuring Charlie Parker at Boston's Storyville club in 1953. one set finds him accompanied by the Red Garland Trio (two years before Garland became famous playing with Miles Davis) while the other one also features trumpeter Herb Pomeroy and a trio led by pianist Sir Charles Thompson. The recording quality is just so-so but Bird was in fine form for these sessions, playing hot versions of his usual repertoire.

Reseña de Scott Yanow
Este LP contiene dos emisiones de Charlie Parker en el club Storyville de Boston en 1953. En una de ellas aparece acompañado por el Red Garland Trio (dos años antes de que Garland se hiciera famoso tocando con Miles Davis), mientras que en la otra también participan el trompetista Herb Pomeroy y un trío dirigido por el pianista Sir Charles Thompson. La calidad de la grabación es mediocre, pero Bird estaba en plena forma para estas sesiones, tocando versiones calientes de su repertorio habitual.
