Double CD 24 BIT DIGITALLY REMASTERED HIGH FIDELITY For over two decades, the Hi-Hat Club occupied a choice location among the jazz clubs of Boston s South End district, at the corner of Columbus and Massachusetts Avenue. After the end of World War II, lesser luminaries took over the band-stand, and after a while entertainment practically stopped altogether. Dave Coleman, a jazz promoter, had taken over management of the club in 1949. Through Coleman s personal initiative, the Hi-Hat enjoyed its most successful years, and by 1951 it was the only club featuring a consistent policy of presenting modern jazz. Between 1953 and 1954 Charlie Parker made several visits to Boston, where he was often hired to play as a single at the Hi-Hat, backed by local musicians. The performances contained in these two albums come from radio broad- casts emceed by famed disc-jockey Symphony Sid (Sid Torin), duplicating here his New York role from the control booth inside the Hi-Hat for his nightly radio show on WCOP.

Plus ca change, plus c'est pareil.
Chaque note soufflée par Parker est digne d'anthologie. Le problème est que sa carrière est assez courte, que bon nombre d'enregistrements sont des captations de concert dont le programme musical varie peu. L'étiquette "inédit (en CD)" n'est pas une garantie de vraie nouveauté.
