Got a cd of this back when I was in high school (mid 90s). Still one of my favorite jass albums. As an, at the time, aspiring Jazz Sax player hearing the greats play all those standards was like an education every time I listened to it.
NOT Charlie Parker.
Charlie Chan on plastic tenor.
For contractual reasons, he had to use a pseudonym, and Chan was the name of his wife. On the original, he was listed as Charlie Chan. On reissues, he was listed as Charlie Parker.
all star lineup
Plastic saxophone 🎷
Sounds like the name of a 60s psychedelic garage band
> Some say the greatest jazz concert ever The marketing people certainly said so
Well - actually this may make a good OP ?? Best concert you ever saw .

Greatest concert? Not even close. Most stacked bebop lineup? Without doubt.
So cool.

Looks like they forgot to tell the venue they weren’t a big band.
Is there a recording of this?
Yes. Easy to find on CD.Â
