Bird lives! This graffiti appeared around New York in the wake of Charlie "Bird" Parker's death on March 12, 1955 at th age of 34- and it still holds true today. The alto-sax-giant, one of the originators of Bebop, invented a method of improvising which Jazz musicians still use today. His fluent style, the ornithological sound of his alto, and the many Bop-standards h wrote from "Moose The Mooche" via "Scrapple From the Apple" or "Relaxin at Camarillo" to "Now's the Time" - made hir an icon of modern Jazz. This 10 CD-box-set documents the musical life of "Bird" through his original albums, including man rarities and contemporaries like Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Lester Young, or Thelonious Monk.
