Yahoo LAUNCHCAST song of the day


Artist:Charlie Parker

Song:Anthropology

Album:The Washington Concerts





Jazz fans do go a little batty when newly discovered recordings from long deceased jazz legends are releleased. And who's a bigger legend than Charlie Parker? These Washington concerts were originally released by Elektra Musician in the 80s. When producer Bruce Lundvall went to Blue Note, he decided to repackage these recordings with some previously unreleased 1953 Washington concert recordings he had found including this tour de force version of Anthropology. If you like Bird, you'll want to hear this. And jazz fans go batty.
