Complete Live Performances on Savoy: Sept. 29, 1947-Oct. 25, 1950
: :For years, the audio quality of many of the performances gathered on these four CDs prevented a full-on embrace, what with all the other available Charlie Parker out there. But this collection restores these sessions to notoriety. They're mostly from New York's Royal Roost, 1948 to 1950, but with a 1947 Carnegie Hall supergroup concert and a 1950 Chicago pickup date that boasts some unknowns--and undersung guitarist George Freeman--with Parker.

The Pacific Jazz Years
: essential recording:For fans wanting to grab a reasonably priced, excellent representation of some of Chet Baker's finest playing and singing, The Pacific Jazz Years is an excellent choice. Collecting work from 1952 to 1957, these four CDs include Baker's work with the likes of Gerry Mulligan, Stan Getz, and Art Pepper. From the tangled bop knots of Baker's collaborations with Mulligan to the sweetly low-key ballads to his most romantic vocals, this collection simply has it all. Packaged with an excellent booklet, this set can't be beat. --S. Duda
