This 10 CD retrospective contains everything Bird recorded on the
Verve label, including live tracks with Ella Fitzgerald. With
nearly 2 hours of never-before-released music, there are 175
tracks in all, a 24 page booklet with photos and liner ...    Full
Descriptionnotes by Dizzy Gillespie.

Digitally remastered by Phil Schaap, Tom "Curley" Ruff and Dennis
M. Drake.

It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this ten-disc
set, a comprehensive collection of everything Parker recorded for
Verve. Though not as incendiary as the Dial and Savoy boxes, the
Verve set still witnesses Parker developing the model for modern
jazz, devising styles and techniques that would define the genre
for the rest of the century. The range of material here is
impressive, and the music shows Bird venturing beyond his already
wide-reaching jazz horizons to encompass Afro-Cuban influences and
Classically tinged phrases. He even quotes from Stravinsky's THE
RITE OF SPRING on "Repetition."

The list of session musicians reads like a veritable who's who of
jazz. Ella Fitzgerald, Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis,
Coleman Hawkins, Buddy Rich, Lester Young, and Max Roach all put
in appearances. Here also are Parker's controversial sessions with
strings. While purists cried sacrilege at the marriage, the
playing is rich in tone and body-to the point of dreaminess--and,
even in an orchestral context, Parker is never less than
experimentally virtuosic. In short, THE COMPLETE SESSION ON VERVE
is an essential contribution-along with the Dial and Savoy
sessions--to a complete picture of one of jazz's greatest figures.

Includes liner notes by Dizzy Gillespie and Phil Schaap.

Personnel includes: Charlie Parker (alto saxophone); Ella
Fitzgerald (vocals); Benny Carter, Dizzy Gillespie, Kenny Clarke,
Ben Webster, Miles Davis, Coleman Hawkins, Gil Evans, Thelonious
Monk, Buddy Rich, Lester Young, Max Roach, Kenny Dorham, Ray
Brown, Red Rodney, John Lewis, Roy Haynes.

Producer: Norman Granz.
