Ballade Hawkins - Parker 1950
Coleman Hawkins on tenor and Charlie Parker on alto. The greatest swing saxophonist meets the new wunderkind and his Bebop. There is a feeling of great respect in the facial expression of Parker when he listens to the master. However as soon as Charlie starts playing it's another world. Is it?
Recorded in 1950 with Hank Jones on piano, Ray Brown on bass and Buddy Rich on drums.
