Joe Pass • I Remember Charlie Parker

 

Review from AllMusic (by Scott Yanow):
For this set of unaccompanied solos, guitarist Joe Pass decided to pay tribute to Charlie Parker, not by recording his compositions but by playing ten of the numbers that Bird had recorded with strings during 1949-1950. One really does not miss the strings, for Pass had earlier in the decade developed his technique to the point where he sounded like a self-sufficient orchestra. Among the songs he plays are "Just Friends" (the most successful of the Charlie Parker with Strings recordings), "April in Paris," "They Can't Take That Away from Me," "If I Should Lose You," and two versions of "Out of Nowhere." Tasteful and swinging music by one classic musician in homage to another.

Reseña de AllMusic (por Scott Yanow):
Para este set de solos sin acompañamiento, el guitarrista Joe Pass decidió rendir homenaje a Charlie Parker, no grabando sus composiciones sino tocando diez de los temas que Bird había grabado con cuerdas durante 1949-1950. Uno realmente no echa de menos las cuerdas, pues Pass había desarrollado su técnica en la década anterior hasta el punto de sonar como una orquesta autosuficiente. Entre las canciones que toca están "Just Friends" (la más exitosa de las grabaciones de Charlie Parker con cuerdas), "April in Paris", "They Can't Take That Away from Me", "If I Should Lose You" y dos versiones de "Out of Nowhere." Música elegante y swingueante de un músico clásico en homenaje a otro.
