On my short list.

Interested to know what you think. I found it a little slow. I've enjoyed his other stuff more, I think.

Is that the one with strings?

It's not the album Charlie Parker with Strings, but it does have some strings. 

It's a big band record with Parker as more than featured soloist. Very Clef / Verve in style.

This is a good one. One of the few Shipp records that accurately captures how he plays live.

Bob Reid – Africa Is Calling Me (Kwela, 1975)

Currently streaming this weird one. Oliver Lake very strong on it.

Its hard to follow the Parker recordings because they are distributed and redistributed in various order and  on LP's always with different LP titles.

Have this one  (+ the vol. 2 & 3)  with  some big band tracks

Discogs lists these tracks for your album but no detailed data for the band. Have to check Lords for more Info.

A2		Autumn In New York
A3		Lover
A4		Stella By Starlight
A5		Dancing In The Dark
B1		Night And Day
B2		I Can't Get Started

B4		Almost Like Being In Love

Often unfortunate, occasionally fine. But a few times through, at me leisure, is probably enough. 

Still looking at Farnon, trying to figure out what's what. This Spotify thing is saving me time and money. Apparently I'm a bit late figuring this out.

I have it under the title "Night and Day" as Volume 1 of 8 LPs. It has somehow a bit kitsch orchestras, it sounds too bombastic and quite away from good Bird-fitting bands like the Eckstine band or Dizzy´s Orchestra would have been. It sounds like those film scores for typical early fifties films like "Wenn der weiße Flieder wieder blüht" with little Romy Schneider. Well but it´s Bird. Period. 

Those Verve 8 LP collection is not chronological, the first is that "Big Band" from the early 50´s , the second is Bird with Strings (Midnight at Carnegie Hall), then I think Vol. 5 "Plays Cole Porter" is his last album from late 1954, while the following "Fiesta" is from the early fifties and Vol. 7 "Perennial is from late forties to early fifties...). 
I like most "Swedish Schnapps" since it is not so much "Norman Granz - like", it´s vintage bop quintet and basta.

Oh that is the famous 70´s birthday gathering with former Messengers sittin in, like Hubbard, McLean, etc. There was a long review of it in german Jazz Podium and it was mentioned that during the end Blakey even played piano and sung "For All we Know" (we may never meet again)  but this is not on the CD. I think Blakey knew it was near the end.....he even is replaced or supported by Roy Haynes on some pieces.
