The elite of modern jazz who inherited the bebop tradition
The Birdlanders are worthy of their name, showcasing respect for jazz tradition and innovation.
This first volume explores the new direction of modern jazz in the early 1970s while carrying on the legacy of Charlie Parker. The intimate ensemble and the soloists' freedom to improvise are perfectly balanced, showcasing a wide range of repertoire, from standards to originals. This is a fulfilling session where the dynamic energy of hard bop intersects with modal exploration.
