Album Description2007 four CD collection presents all of Charlie Parker's known recordings at this famous venue for the first time on one edition. This collection goes all through all his surviving Carnegie Hall sets until the last one, that also was to be his last known live recording ever and the next to last session of his life. As bonus tracks, we have selected three rarely heard and very interesting recordings. The first two, 'Mambo' and 'Lament for the Congo', are Bird's only known recordings with Machito outside of his studio recordings and the February 11, 1949 set issued here for the first time ever. Next we have a solo a sole selection recorded live at an unknown venue in New York, probably from a radio broadcast. Definitive.
