In Sweden 1950 / Various

Before jets and numerous festivals made American jazz musicians' European shows common, a six - month publicity often preceded a trans - Atlantic tour. But in November 1950, Charlie Parker's arrival in Sweden shocked some fans. The trip was arranged at short notice, with booking talks going on until his departure from the States. Rumors of Parker's visits had spread, but the excitement was so great that few believed them. At that time, live jazz was scarce in Europe, and Charlie Parker, the icon of modern jazz, was already a legend. So, his visit was bound to be unforgettable. This live album will surely thrill today's listeners as it did the thousand people in Halsingborg's Folkets Park dance hall and the 75 lucky attendees all those years ago.

To enjoy this live jazz album, simply insert it into your music player and press play. For the best experience, use high - quality headphones or a good speaker system. There are no special playing instructions, but make sure your device supports the audio format. Keep the album away from heat, moisture, and direct sunlight to prevent damage. If you're using a CD version, handle it by the edges to avoid scratches. Enjoy the timeless jazz sounds of Charlie Parker's memorable visit to Sweden!
