5 out of 5 stars Best Ballad Playing ever.......2005-01-13

This disk (on vinyl) was the first Parker album I ever owned. Although the up-tempo stuff (Moose the Mooche, Yardbird Suite etc.) are classic Bird, the ballads on here (Don't Blame Me, Embraceable You, etc.)have never, in my opinion, been excelled by Parker himself or anyone else for pure melodic beauty. The improvisations on these ballads are crystalline elegance, each note utterly perfect. This disk changed ny life forever. Well worth replacing the old vinyl copy.

3 out of 5 stars There are better deals.......2002-03-24

The playing of Parker and his groups here, from his early years as a leader (1946-1947) deserves 5 stars - there's no argument here !
BUT, why settle for 12 songs when there is "In a soulful mood" which contains all 12 plus 6 extra tunes with great sound quality - and at a lower price. If this is not available than there is the Ken Burns collection which is awesome.
If you bought this one you bought the greatest music - but there's no reason to make such a short CD unless it's a real bargain price - which it's not.

5 out of 5 stars Exceptional early Parker- Charlie at his best!.......1999-04-17

Great tunes from the early septet, quartet and quintet. Has that wonderful "genuine" scratchy production. This is the real thing! Some of Parker's best early work. Features Miles Davis.
