This LP contains two broadcasts at Boston's Storyville club in 1953. One set finds Parker accompanied by the Red Garland Trio (two years before Garland became famous playing with Miles Davis), while the other one also features trumpeter Herb Pomeroy and a trio led by pianist Sir Charles Thompson. The recording quality is just so-so but Bird was in fine form for these sessions, playing hot versions of his usual repertoire. ~ Scott Yanow, All Music Guide |
