PARKER, Charles “Charlie,” Jr. (1920-1955). Charlie Parker with Strings. Mercury Records, 1950.

Recorded with a small string orchestra and rhythm section for Norman Granz’ labels between 1947 and 1952, Parker’s two With Strings albums were the realisation of a long-held desire to record with strings and his best selling records during his lifetime. ‘Charlie excitedly embraced the project,’ notes biographer Chuck Haddix, ‘feeling that recording with strings legitimized his music’. Haddix, 125.
