    5.0 out of 5 stars Yardbird
    Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2012
    With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Even though alto saxophonist Charlie Parker didn't record as much material as other legends in this series, it's still impossible on a single disc to achieve a thorough picture of Bird's influence. However, you can't go wrong with "Ko-Ko," "Ornithology," "Anthropology," "Now's the Time," "Lover Man," and "Yardbird Suite," all classic Parker mid- to late-'40s bebop sides on Savoy and Dial. Also highlighted are "Just Friends" from the controversial release with strings, and early performances as a member of Dizzy Gillespie's All Star Quintet and Jay McShann's Orchestra. While it's impossible to sum up the history of Parker on a single disc and aficionados will find nothing new, the highlights here keep the novice listener interested enough to continue searching out more material.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent single-disc collection
    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2006
    It would be a shame to go through life with only one CD of Charlie Parker music, but an even greater shame to own none. So if you're standing on the brink of deciding whether to buy this, get it! As of this writing it appears to be the single best and broadest overview of Parker's work available on a single disc. (Though if you want to spend a bit more, get the 4-disc set "Boss Bird" on Proper Records, here at Amazon).

    This disc is a fine overview of Bird's career, going all the way back to his days with the Jay McShann in Kansas City and extending into the end of his career in the early 50's. It also contains one of the single most moving and poignant recordings in the history of jazz, "Lover Man," recorded in LA when he was so strung out on booze and drugs he coud hardly move, much less play.

    There are some complaints here about sound quality; from what I can tell this CD is up to the standards of 40's and 50's jazz recordings -- this is what you get. If they apply more sound reduction, you end up losing the music.

    Again, a great place to start.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fly with The Bird!
    Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2005
    Here's a good introduction to the music of the amazing Charlie Parker. It begins with a recording Parker made as a member of Jay McShann's orchestra then continues through his all-too-brief career with some essential recordings he made for Savoy, Dial and various labels produced by Norman Granz (which were later reissued on the Verve label).

    No individual CD can contain all of Parker's most important recordings but this one scans The Bird's years as a recording artist better than any other single-CD collection.

    If you're looking for one CD that will introduce you to the artistry of a true American musical genius, this is the one to get.

    5.0 out of 5 stars The cream! The place to start for Charlie Parker!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2001
    The Charlie Parker catalog can be overwhelming. This great CD offers Parker's greatest recordings in his legendary career. I've heard a few complaints about the sound quality. Frankly, I think it adds charm to the recording. There is some surface noise, but it's not that bad. Some of the cuts sound like an old 78 from the 40's, but with modern presence. The surface noise adds a patina to the recording like age does to fine china or a coin or antique furniture. There are so many Parker CD's it can be confusing. Although, I once owned Yardbird Suite on Rhino, it was just a bit too much. It you don't have the time for 50 cuts of Parker, this is the logical choice. Also Recommended: Charlie Parker with strings. Parker changed the way people improvise and create in music. His innovation is now so common, it's like he invented breathing. Astonishing technical prowess, despite his inner demons and addictions. A god-given talent!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific compilation
    Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2001
    Once again, the Ken Burn's series has introduced me to a jazz genius. Of course I had heard of Parker before, but wasn't that familiar with his music. But this cd has left me wanting to hear more. The music on here spans the years 1942 through to 1953 and covers several record labels, unlike other "Best of" collections. While there is some surface noise, it's not as bad as some reviewers make out. There are others in the Ken Burn's series which are way worse...like the Billie Holiday and Lester Young ones for instance. The booklet contains some photos and an interesting essay about Parker. This is an album that all Parker fans should own, and is a terrific place to start for someone like me who wants to discover the genius of Charlie Parker.
