Listen to the music of a label that, despite sharing the name of America's leading toothpaste, was good for the ears! Unlike other independent record companies of the time, Crest was wideranging in its musical scope; some said it was trying to rival Liberty Records, a major pop label of the day. This aim may have been overambitious, but while it was around Crest put out entertaining music in several genres. It had two real giants on its books in Eddie Cochran and Glen Campbell, and their fingerprints are all over this compilation.

CHARLIE PARKER - THE GENIUS OF CHARLIE PARKER

This album was originally released on Savoy just after Parker's death in 1955. It collects prime Bird, both out-takes and masters, from half a dozen sessions recorded between 1945 and 1948. A very young Miles Davis and Max Roach are on hand for 10 of the 14 cuts. Bud Powell, John Lewis, Duke Jordan, Curly Russell, and Tommy Potter also put in appearances on various tracks. These are historic and were, at the time, revolutionary performances with Bird in first-rate form on familiar tunes like "Donna Lee," "Koko," and "Chasing the Bird."
An added treat is the inclusion of four fascinating numbers featuring Parker and Dizzy Gillespie sitting in with guitarist/vocalist Slim Gaillard's group. Diz and Bird join Gaillard for some humorous romps through his highly original songbook, including his classic "Flat Foot Floogie."
With a short introduction by All "Jazzbeau" Collins at the beginning of the record -- Henk Madrotter
I bought this album in about 1971 as I was just beginning to discover Bebop. I had heard of most of the musicians on this record but hadn't really heard them play. At first this album was hard for me to listen to, I was used to jazz that was structured and played from charts and the free style of bop was foreign to me. But the songs with Slim Gaillard (a favorite of my father): Slim's Jam, Popity Pop, and Flat Foot Floogie, immediately stood out. Those were the songs that prompted me to play this record again and again as I learned to appreciate and love Charlie Parker.
These tracks were taken from the original masters and are of rather poor quality when compared to the recorded music of today. But they are worth listening to if only for the young and famous musicians on it. -- JohnnyDiego
