Charlie Parker had a recording career lasting just a decade, a result of a two-year musician's strike and the onset of World War II. But what a career it was! The populariser of bop, Parker remains a member of jazz's Mount Rushmore, a standard bearer whose compositions continue to influence American popular music 70 years after being written. New Continent offers this 20-track survey, humbling titled "The Hits", reviewing Bird's work on Dial, Savoy, and Verve Records, and featuring the contributions of Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Buddy Rich, and more.
