FOR SALE: Original 1954 mono pressing of Charlie Parker Big Band by Charlie Parker on Clef Records (MG C-609)
INFO/TRACK LISTING: Up for sale here is a real jazz gem: An original mono pressing of Charlie Parker Big Band on Clef Records! This captures the rare moment in time when The Bird played with a big band instead of his trademark small ensemble. The result is strange and often feels restrained, but it is nevertheless fascinating and definitely enjoyable! It definitely carries part of his signature sound, so fans of Parker will definitely not be disappointed. If you're a jazz collector, then I don't have to tell you that this is one of the rarest jazz records you can get your hands on!
I found this gem in the bargain bin at a local record store. Clearly, someone didn't know what they had! Now, here's your chance to take it home! Even this is a bargain price for this record! When I found it, it did not have a sleeve, so I gave it a new sleeve and cleaned up the disc. It plays beautifully.
