This Verve CD pulls together recordings from 1949-52 that were originally scattered across a handful of 10" LPs. Seven of the tunes here come from the original SOUTH OF THE BORDER 10," which featured a typical Parker ensemble of the period (Walter Bishop, Jr., piano; Teddy Kotick, bass; Roy Haynes or Max Roach, drums) augmented by Latin percussionists Jose Mangual and Luis Miranda. The three opening cuts feature Bird blowing through arrangements played by Machito and His Afro-Cuban Orchestra (originally released on MACHITO JAZZ WITH FLIP AND BIRD); Machito and orchestra return for the extended "Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite" composed by Chico O'Farill.
The small group recordings sound like small group Bird recordings without the driving tempos, ornate melodic structure or reliance on either blues or "I Got Rhythm" chord changes. On "No Noise (Part 1)", one of the shorter Machito tunes, it's particularly interesting to hear Parker stretch out over the simple two-chord vamp. The "Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite" includes solos by Bird but was not written with the altoist in mind. Rather, O'Farill wrote the piece as an extended jazz composition with occasional soloists; Parker was called in during the session to replace Harry "Sweets" Edison.
