Charlie Parker

• 180 GRAM COLORED VIRGIN VINYL

Charlie Parker and Lennie Tristano had mutual admiration and understanding for each other, and were good friends. However, their recorded output together is far from extensive. This LP presents all of their recordings together, including two fantastic duets on “All of Me” and “I Can’t Believe That You’re Nin Love with Me”.
