Point just being that a person who buys the complete sets but doesn't want to listen to consecutive takes of the same song doesn't have to, and at no loss of quality. Bird is kinda special that way.

I would wager that an album assembled in such a way would, for Parker novices, in no way betray the takes as alternates (at least on Parker's part).

Make a Bird compilation of only alternates, one per tune. Pretty good record!

I think they're perfectly clear about what their concept is. NP:

Bette Davis was badass.

Electrical Field of Love by Harriet Tubman & Georgia Anne Muldrow

I think we're long overdue for the last rock (and roll) record.

Mine has shipped.

I had forgotten that Rufus Harley was an interesting (enough) tenor player!

I really enjoy her relative vibratoless interpretations.

#9 has to be Bill Barron, then. but the record is eluding me. It's not fromMotivation.

In like a lion, out like a lamb! TRACK ONE - Non-silly alto, which is the only kind of alto I really like. Not as common as I would like. This one 100% grooves! TRACK TWO - Yeah, Pete Brown. Listening to this one, I heard a possible link between Pete Brown and Lockjaw? Maybe? No matter, Pete Brown is very worth knowing about! TRACK THREE - Gene Shaw? Pretty distinct player, although it has been so long since i listened that I would not begin to be able to identify the record. But that's a good cut, for sure, and not just for the leader! TRACK FOUR - Lady Q on one of the tenors? Pepper on bari? Sounds like a Thad tune/arrangement. Not familiar with this one at all, but I like it! TRACK FIVE - No thanks. Too much talk, not enough action. TRACK SIX - Wow. Who knew?!?!?! I like this a LOT! Easily sleuthed from the intro: https://folkways.si.edu/conjunto-alamo/buena-vista-swing/jazz-ragtime/music/track/smithsonian TRACK SEVEN - Not to my taste, but that's certainly some skilled pickin'! TRACK EIGHT - I like this one too. Phil Woods before he got silly. The tenor player has a really intense sound, I like it a lot. The whole thing is poppin', nonstop! TRACK NINE - Odean Pope? Don't recognize the band, tho. Interesting, works for me! TRACK TEN - Gesture aplenty. TRACK ELEVEN - Time taken. Appreciated for that. Liking the piano more than anything. Saxophinist is a bit too generic for my liking. TRACK TWELVE - No idea, but I like it a lot. Not Don Cherry, but kinda in the same vibe. I feel that I'm going to have a DOH! moment once this is revealed, I like it! TRACK THIRTEEN - I thought this was some kind of Donny Hathaway basic demo cut. Then I got curious enough to cheat. Oh my! Nice set, as usual. Enjoyed it!
