Hootie, would you like it if I came to the bandstand looking like a doctor, and played like a doctor?" Charlie Parker to Jay McShannThe aim of 'The Complete Charlie Parker', compiled for FrEmeaux & AssociEs by Alain Tercinet, is to present (as far as possible) every studio-recording by Parker, together with titles featured in radio-broadcasts. Private recordings have been deliberately omitted from this selection to preserve a consistency of sound and aesthetic quality equal to the genius of this artist.
