*From inner jacket and Dave Billman: "Trip Records takes pride in making available once again this collection of twelve Bird masterpieces, their historical value makes them an important link in the musical history of Charlie Parker. What you will hear on these two records will make you want to shout the most famous phrase in jazz, "Bird lives", for his music is eternal in every sense of the word."
