Bird With Strings: Featuring Andrew Speight at Stanford Jazz Festival at Dinkelspiel Auditorium

About

Produced by Norman Granz from 1949 – 1952, the groundbreaking recordings that became the Bird with Strings discs were Charlie Parker’s biggest sellers. SJW’s Andrew Speight channels Bird as he plays the original arrangements with his favorite rhythm section. The adventurous and flawless Alexander Quartet handles the string parts with gorgeous tone, and an uncanny feeling of swing.
