Product Description
Contents: This record label was founded in 1961 by Doris Parker, Charlie Parker's third wife and legal heir, and Aubrey Mayhew, producer at Pickwick Records, known for its reissue (repack) series of Sachord recordings. It was established to release Parker's unreleased recordings that had been dormant since his death, but it also produced new recordings of modern jazz of the time. Works such as Duke Jordan's "Blues on a Dangerous Liaison" and Cecil Payne's "Connection" are particularly well-known to jazz fans. The label also acquired recordings from other companies and released them as its own, including rare albums by Art Pepper and Pete Jolly. This label is noteworthy for jazz fans, as it includes many albums beyond Parker's works, representing the golden age of modern jazz. Charlie Parker, the pioneer of bebop and modern jazz, descended upon Christie's, a club in the suburbs of Boston, in 1951 during his heyday! (Wardell Gray, Howard McGee, Joe...) A historic recording capturing a moment of genius Parker electrifying the venue with a long solo in a jam session, accompanied by Gordon and others!
