It’s kind of hard to appreciate it now, 70+ years later, but at one time the recordings on this single disc created a tectonic shift in modern music. Not only did the bebop of Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, ray Brown, Kenny Clarke and others change the direction of jazz with harmonic and rhythmic advances, but at the same time, rhythms, instruments and harmonies from Cuba converged with modern jazz to form Afro Cuban sounds that still resonate today.
This single disc, with recordings ranging from 1945-54, contains both small and big band versions of the music that still sounds fresh and exciting. The earliest, from December, 1945 has Charlie Parker/as, Dizzy Gillespie/tp, Al Haig/p, Milt Jackson/vib, Ray Brown/b and Stan Levey/dr searing through “Dizzy Atmosphere”, with a similar band with John Lewis/p is head spinning on “ A Night In Tunisia”, “Groovin’ High” and “Confirmation”.
There are some intriguing big band sessions as well, with a 1950 session with Parker, Howard McGhee/tp, sitting in on Frank Machito” Grillo’s band on “Mambo Fortunato”. “Cherokee”” and a rollicking “Manteca” while a session that includes Parker with Woody Herman/s band of Bill Perkins/ts and Dick Hafer/ts is a gas on “Lemon Drop” and “The Goof and I”. There’s even a 1954 outing with Parker and Gillespie sitting in with Stan Kenton’s big band with Charlie Mariano/as, Frank Rosolino/tb and conga man Candido” a searing “ Manteca” and “Cherokee”. The sound quality is better than you’d expect, and the music, WELL! Imagine having a record of Beethoveen playing on his own 5th Piano Concerto and you get the idea.

Es un poco difícil apreciarlo ahora, más de 70 años después, pero en un momento las grabaciones de este único disco crearon un cambio tectónico en la música moderna. No solo el bebop de Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker, ray Brown, Kenny Clarke y otros cambiaron la dirección del jazz con avances armónicos y rítmicos, sino que al mismo tiempo, ritmos, instrumentos y armonías de Cuba convergieron con el jazz moderno para formar sonidos afrocubanos que aún resuenan en la actualidad.
Este sencillo disco, con grabaciones que van desde 1945-54, contiene versiones de la música para pequeñas y grandes bandas que aún suenan frescas y emocionantes. El primero, de diciembre de 1945, tiene a Charlie Parker / as, Dizzy Gillespie / tp, Al Haig / p,Milt Jackson/ vib, Ray Brown / b y Stan Levey / dr recorriendo "Dizzy Atmosphere", con una banda similar con John Lewis / p está dando vueltas en "A Night In Tunisia", "Groovin' High "y " Confirmation".
También hay algunas sesiones intrigantes de big band, con una sesión de 1950 con Parker, Howard McGhee / tp, acompañando a la banda de Frank Machito" Grillo en "Mambo Fortunato". "Cherokee ""y una alegre "Manteca", mientras que una sesión que incluye a Parker con Woody Herman / la banda de Bill Perkins / ts y Dick Hafer / ts es un gas en "Lemon Drop" y "The Goof and I". Incluso hay una salida de 1954 con Parker y Gillespie sentados con la big band de Stan Kenton con Charlie Mariano / as, Frank Rosolino / tb y el conguero Candido "a searing" Manteca " y "Cherokee". La calidad del sonido es mejor de lo que cabría esperar, ¡y la música, BUENO! Imagina tener un disco de Beethoveen tocando su propio quinto Concierto para Piano y entiendes la idea.
