Charlie Parker And Lester Young - An Historic Meeting At The Summit flac mp3 download

Listening to it, it seems to be excerpts of songs, not complete songs. The music is still great, but it would have been nice to hear beginnings and endings.

This is not an actual meeting recording like others it is misleading and it is only a comparison album as Bird said he was influenced by Lester Young so many comparisons have been made even though Lester played tenor and Bird alto....here is the track listing since the back of album cover is not shown. I have this in my collection and i recommend it even though there are others i this a great compilation and indeed a great lesson on how to tell the difference between the two men styles.
