Tracks list

In Chicago, the cult of Bird fanatics probably lived harder than in other cities
– and in the few decades after Charlie Parkers death, the city was host
to annual Bird Memorial concerts during the month of August. This obscure 2LP
set on Cadet does a good job of documenting the energy and comraderie that went
into those sessions – as it captures tunes from four different
performances during the series, all recorded at Chicagos North Park Hotel.
Players include Dexter Gordon, Howard McGhee, Vi Redd, Lee Konitz, Art Hoyle,
Von Freeman, Jodie Christian, Roy Haynes, Muhal Richard Abrams, Eddie Jefferson,
and Kenny Dorham – and the sets a great crossection of players –
from the bop to the less obvious Parker-philes – in a strong illustration
of Birds still-consistent influence even at the end of the 60s.
