Charlie Parker Complete Live Performances on Savoy September 29 1947 to October 25 1950

The Complete Live Performances on Savoy September 29 1947 to October 25 1950 is a collection of live recordings by Charlie Parker.

Many of these were recorded at the Royal Roost in New York in 1948 and 1949. There is also the 1947 Carnegie Hall concert with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie and a Chicago concert from 1950.

If you don’t want to get the 4 CD boxset, there is also the option of the Best Of The Complete Savoy Live Performances.

While this is billed as the “complete” I should point out that it misses the Symphony Sid announcements on the Royal Roost sessions, some of which had Parker playing in the background.
