Info for April In Paris: The Genius Of Charlie Parker #2 (Remastered)
The genius of Bird and strings is hard to describe – an edgey approach that really goes far past most other 'jazz with strings' projects, not a ballad-driven one, but a tensely strained one that brings out some of Parker's best soloing, almost in a moody soundtrack-type way. The tracks are a lot freer and less bop-driven than some of Bird's normal work, and it's incredible to hear him soloing with such complexity – even more proof of the genius he clearly exhibited in relation to his contemporaries. Titles include 'Just Friends', 'Easy To Love', 'East Of The Sun', 'They Can't Take That Away From Me', 'April In Paris', and 'Summertime'.
