Theo Hill “Reality Check” Posi-Tone cd

Theo Hill - piano; Rhodes; synthesizer
Joel Ross - vibraphone
Rashaan Carter - bass; electric bass
Mark Whitfield Jr. - drums

This one has grown on me. I like it more now than I did when I bought it a few years ago. Joel Ross was the attraction, and he contributes strongly.

Charlie Parker - Bird/The Savoy Recordings (Master Takes)

 

This was my very very first Charlie Parker album, a double LP. I didn´t know nothing about Parker until I heard that "Parkeriana" on a Mingus Album featuring Dolphy. I thought, if Parker is so great, he must be the next artist I have to get to know. 
I love this album still, because it does not have all those alternative tracks, just the masters..... so you can just spin it and hear all the tunes.....

It´s interesting that on one side of the album is also a quintet that has Bud Powell playing but I remember that at that time I didn´t notice the piano solos and maybe Bud is also quite subdued and weakly recorded on that. 
I remember in my first "Parker-Year" I had four Parker albums: This Savoy Mastertakes, than a brown LP called "Jazz Tracks" that has the Carnegie Hall Concert and some of the Dial Session", then two live LPs from CBS: "One Night at Birdland" (where I first heard Bud Powell and never have heard better Bud), and a similar album "Summit Meeting at Birdland".
