Reissue on 180-GRAM VINYL! Originally released on Savoy in 1955, very soon after Bird departed this mortal coil, 'The Genius Of Charlie Parker' is a compilation of recordings from 1944-1948, a period of particularly profound material from one of jazz's most important artists. Joining the alto saxophonist on these sessions reads like a who's who of jazz greats, from Dizzy Gillespie to Max Roach, and from Bud Powell to Miles Davis.
