This LP contains two broadcasts at Boston's Storyville club in 1953. One set finds
Parker accompanied by the
Red Garland Trio (two years before
Garland became famous playing with
Miles Davis), while the other one also features trumpeter
Herb Pomeroy and a trio led by pianist
Sir Charles Thompson. The recording quality is just so-so but
Bird was in fine form for these sessions, playing hot versions of his usual repertoire. ~ Scott Yanow
