charlie parker charlie parker with strings 110206 limited collects 12 of his bestWhen Charlie Parker went into the studio for the first time in 1949 with a string orchestra plus jazz trio, critics feared an "artistic sell out" of the alto saxophonist.

Its charm lay precisely in the contrast between the arranged passages for the string orchestra and the ingenious improvisational lines of the saxophone soloist.
