Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day

Artist:Charlie Parker
Song:I Can't Get Started
Album:The Ultimate Charlie Parker




The Ultimate Series of budget priced jazz CDs issued by Verve in 1999 were comps selected by musicians greatly influenced by the featured musician. This Charlie Parker comp was selected by Jackie McLean, a great sax player in his own right. The Ultimate Series is recommended for beginners as they give a good cross section of the artist's work. I Can't Get Started is from the 1946 Jazz At The Philharmonic concert and features Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young & Coleman Hawkins along with Parker. These are great musicians at the top of their game.
