Bird in LA ( Vinyl ) { Vinyl }

This historic release brings together previously unknown & unissued recordings along with rarities captured during 3 of the 4 California trips Bird made during his too-short life.

Highlights include “How High the Moon” from his historic 1945 engagement with Dizzy Gillespie at Billy Berg’s, previously unknown performances from a 1948 “Jazz at the Philharmonic” concert at the Shrine Auditorium, & the complete recordings of the infamous 1952 “naked party” at the Altadena ranch of Jirayr Zorthian.
