Kolekcjonerskie wydanie nagrań Charliego Parkera

Nakładem wydawnictwa Jazz Dynamics ukazał się 4-płytowy box „Complete Royal Roost Broadcasts”,  zawierający  kompletne nagrania koncertów kwintetu Charliego Parkera z lat 1948/49, które odbyły się w nowojorskim klubie jazzowym Royal Roost.

Materiały z tych klubowych spotkań kwintetu, które odbywały się od września ’48 do marca ‘49 zostały już wcześniej wydane, jednak dopiero teraz otrzymujemy pełną wersję chronologicznie ułożonych setów w postaci jednego wydawnictwa. Podczas koncertów Birdowi towarzyszył kwintet, którego skład tworzyli: Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Al Haig, Tommy Potter i Max Roach.

Bonusowo do boxu dołączono dwie płyty z nagraniami Parkera pochodzącymi z lat ‘49/’50, zarejestrowanymi w telewizji WPIX  i CBS oraz Waldorf Astoria Hotel i Broadway Open House.
