Charlie Parker - Bird In Boston - Live At The Hi-hat 1953-1954 (2016)

Tracklist

For over two decades, the Hi-Hat Club occupied a choice location among the jazz clubs of Boston s South End district, at the corner of Columbus and Massachusetts Avenue. After the end of World War II, lesser luminaries took over the band-stand, and after a while entertainment practically stopped altogether.
Dave Coleman, a jazz promoter, had taken over management of the club in 1949. Through Coleman s personal initiative, the Hi-Hat enjoyed its most successful years, and by 1951 it was the only club featuring a consistent policy of presenting modern jazz.
Between 1953 and 1954 Charlie Parker made several visits to Boston, where he was often hired to play as a single at the Hi-Hat, backed by local musicians. The performances contained in these two albums come from radio broad- casts emceed by famed disc-jockey Symphony Sid (Sid Torin), duplicating here his New York role from the control booth inside the Hi-Hat for his nightly radio show on WCOP.
