This set has the soundtrack of Clint Eastwood's film Bird. Arranger Lennie Niehaus managed to isolate Charlie Parker's original alto solos (some from studio sessions and a few from rarer club appearances) and re-recorded them with contemporary bop-based musicians. The effect is rather eerie and generally works, allowing such musicians as pianists Monty Alexander, Barry Harris and Walter Davis, Jr., bassists Ray Brown, Chuck Berghofer and Ron Carter, drummer John Guerin and trumpeters Jon Faddis and Red Rodney to play with Bird. Worth acquiring if only for the novelty value since this setting did not allow Parker the opportunity to react to the other musicians.
