For their fourth album,
Supersax continued its practice of recreating recorded
Charlie Parker solos harmonized for a full saxophone section. What was different this time around was that with one exception, all of the solos were taken from concerts rather than studio dates. The result is that the ensembles sound fresher (since
Bird's live improvisations are generally not that well-known) and longer. Trumpeters
Blue Mitchell and
Conte Candoli, trombonist
Frank Rosolino and pianist
Lou Levy get solo space, and highlights include "Shaw Nuff," "Drifting on a Reed," "Dizzy Atmosphere" and a six-minute rendition of "Night In Tunisia."
