A reissue made available for Record Store Day to celebrate the
75th anniversary of this landmark recording. In September of 1949,
Charlie Parker crossed paths with Swing Era giants Roy Eldridge and
Lester Young onstage at Carnegie Hall. The band – which also included
Ray Brown, Hank Jones, Flip Phillips, Buddy Rich and Tommy Turk – wailed
on standards and extended, improvised tunes, producing this exciting
performance. This LP has been mastered from the original analog sources
and pressed on yellow vinyl.
