Charlie Parker - Irresistible You, June 16th, 1952

Bird had first played with Chet at the Tiffany Club in LA in the spring of 1952, and on Monday, June 16th they were both recorded at the Trade Winds Club in Inglewood, California, along with the hyperactive Sonny Criss on alto.
Musical offering (pitch and speed corrected) consists of a lovely rendition of Irresistible You recorded that night. Bird sounds very content as he negotiates this less-commonly played standard with its comfortable chord changes.
Chet Baker, just 22 years old, displays the many promising attributes that caught Bird’s attention. Sonny Criss is… Sonny Criss (he solos third). Russ Freeman (or possibly Al Haig) is on piano, Harry Babasin is on bass, and Lawrence Marable is on drums.

Bisociation. The nark of genius. He combined rhythm abd harmony in a new way that led to a jazz movement. Yet. he was a tortured soul. Nonetheless, my hats off to this jazz legend. So be it.
