Jazz At The Philharmonic – vol. 2, 1957 LP rip


The jam session was recorded in 1946, released only in 1957, which is probably why the record sounds too harsh for the 1940s. In musical terms, everything is played somehow not smoothly. The recorded track is a fragment of a performance, where Lester Young begins on tenor, then Charlie Parker picks up on alto, and Willie Smith ends, also on alto. You can hear that compared to Smith, Parker has a lousy instrument. Packer was famous for constantly pawning his instruments and playing most of the time on anything but the ones he really deserved.
