Bird, Red Rodney, Kenny Drew, Curly Russell, Art Blakey: "Anthropology" - WJZ broadcast from Birdland in 1950 from Charlie Parker: More Unissued Vol. 2
It's only been a few days since I posted on this thread, but I'm pretty sure that nothing else I'll hear this week will top this one. Bird is on fire, Blakey sounds like he's ready to blow up the place, Red Rodney comes across with some of his best early playing that I've heard, a young Kenny Drew more than holds his own, and Curly Russell is the beat holding it all together.
