This set, titled 'The Birth of Bop,' represents an essential introduction to this vital period in jazz music and includes pioneers like Charlie Parker, Dexter Gordon, Stan Getz, and more.
When jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi released his soundtrack for A Charlie Brown Christmas back in 1965, he probably never thought that this holiday special would become one of the best-selling jazz albums of all time.
To celebrate 100 years of Charlie Parker, Craft Records is releasing a four-LP deluxe box set that will kick off year-long celebrations for the renowned musician.
The release date is set for February 24, 2023, and the album will include the original recording of John Lee Hooker’s highly-influential signature hit, “Boom Boom.”
The five-CD box set will be the first such set for the legendary pianist and will feature over 60 tracks that spotlight Evans’ unique perspective on the piano - who's widely considered one of the most influential artists in the history of Jazz.
