Purists may bristle, but Norman Granz's carefully arranged and frankly commercial Charlie Parker projects--such as the famous CHARLIE PARKER WITH STRINGS--are as popular as ever, as evidenced by the release of BIG BAND on the Verve Master Edition series. This set features Parker backed by an ocean of musicians, including a full string session, singers, and a sizable rhythm and brass section with a surprising number of names hidden in it: Oscar Peterson, Freddie Green, Charles Mingus and Max Roach among them.
Arrangements by Gil Evans and Joe Lipman provide the large, dramatic, sonic canvas on which Bird paints his masterly phrases. Even given the somewhat alien context, Parker's alto speaks with characteristic eloquence, ranging from plaintive lyricism ("Stella By Starlight") to hard-swinging bop athleticism ("What Is This Thing Called Love?"), all the while supported by a colossal wall of precision, dynamic-jumping musicians. Alternate takes of "Old Folks" and "In The Still Of The Night" will please collectors, while the big band context will allow those adverse to the angular intensities of Parker's small group sessions to appreciate the artist in his finery.
