âšCharlie Parker spent more time in Los Angeles than anywhere outside of Kansas City and New York City. This historic release brings together previously unknown and unissued recordings along with rarities captured during three of the four California trips Bird made during his too-short life. Among the crown jewels on this set are âHow High the Moonâ and âFifty-Second Street Themeâ from his historic engagement with Dizzy Gillespie at Billy Bergâs in 1945. Also included are three previously unknown performances from a 1948 âJazz at the Philharmonicâ concert at the Shrine Auditorium. Most intriguingly, the complete recordings of the infamous July 1952 ânaked partyâ at the Altadena ranch of Jirayr Zorthian are included. Recording engineer Doug Benson has done a remarkable job of restoring these recordings to the highest possible audio fidelity. Included in this set is an extensive essay by producer John Burton describing the circumstances under which these recordings were made as well as rarely-seen photographs from Birdâs trips to L.A."
