Description

For the date, “Bird and Diz” (recorded in 1950, released on a 10" LP in 1952), a world class bop line-up of Charlie Parker, trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, pianist Thelonious Monk and bassist Curly Russell was completed by big band drummer Buddy Rich.
Parker plays blistering and coherent, mostly up-tempo, primetime bop.
There are two blues ("Bloomdido" and "Mohawk"), two "I Got Rhythm" chord change derivations ("An Oscar For Treadwell" and "Leap Frog"), another using the changes from "Stompin' At The Savoy" ("Relaxin' With Lee"), and the delightfully cheesy 1912 ballad, "My Melancholy Baby," played with gusto by Parker.
This was the last time Parker and Gillespie recorded together in the studio, and it was the only time they recorded with Monk. Gillespie, like Parker, is strong throughout, perfectly in sync with Parker on the theme statements and a consistently stimulating soloist; comping was never Monk's forte, but he delivers some quirky, if brief, solos.
The Remaster Edition features eighteen alternative and breakdown takes which make for an interesting extended coda to the six master takes which start the disc.
