• Track Listing

Being that jazz students have been transcribing and analyzing Bird solos ever since Parker played ’em—and being that few things are as divinely beautiful as those solos—this is a release that will cause quite a stir. Dwarfing all previous Parker rarities editions, this 2-CD set presents 58 previously unknown takes plus 21 released masters for context. You’ll hear the jazz icon’s alternate takes of "Okieodokie," "Visa," "Blues (Fast)," "An Oscar for Treadwell," "Mohawk," "My Little Suede Shoes," "Mama Inez," "Tico Tico," "Night and Day," "Almost Like Being in Love" and more! Verve.
