Discovering previously unheard music is a consistent hope for serious jazz fans. Finding unreleased music from legends, especially those who departed far too early with their legacies incomplete, is a true joy. Fans, scholars and collectors who want to have a complete overview on Charlie Parker’s work and career can now dig into a new collection of previously unreleased tracks.

This two-disc set includes 58 studio takes recorded by the alto saxophonist between 1949 and 1952. The set was co-produced by Phil Schaap, a Parker expert and eminent jazz historian who serves as a curator for Jazz At Lincoln Center.
The newly discovered takes were found in a cache of materials owned by a former associate of Norman Granz, the founder of Verve Records and producer of the sessions. They allow the listener inside the private domain between Parker and Granz as they developed some of the most important music in jazz.

In his liner notes, Schaap provides overview, session-by-session history and track-by-track analysis, further illuminating the creative process of Bird’s genius.

The Unissued Takes displays the immortal master of the alto saxophone Charlie Parker at the peak maturity of his prodigious talents. Accompanied by so many of the era's giants, and allowed the time, space and support to produce art at its highest level, this set is a monumental addition to a legacy of artistry that is breathtaking in its scope and majesty and an essential addition to the library of all serious fans of jazz.
