Ten CDs, 175 tracks and 625 minutes comprising Charlie Parker"s complete recordings for the Verve label, recordings on which Parker-under the watchful eye of Verve impresario Norman Granz-grafted his bebop innovations on to Afro-Cuban motifs, classically-tinged pieces and even the ever-controversial string sections. The set features almost two hours of unreleased music, as well as live tracks with Ella Fitzgerald, a superlative supporting cast of Dizzy Gillespie, Miles Davis, Coleman Hawkins, Buddy Rich, Lester Young, Max Roach and more, and a 24-page booklet. From the opening track, Sweet Georgia Brown , to the I Love Paris finale, a hugely influential and challenging body of work.
