チャーリー･パーカーの死後５年ほど経過して、私はモダン･ジャズを知ることになる。折しもアート･ブレーキー＆
ジャズ・メッセンジャーズの一行が初来日し、ファンキー･ブーム到来の時期でした。その５年後、小さな町のジャズ喫茶で鳴っていた音楽、それ

とになります。札幌の自宅に戻るやいなや馴染みのレコード店の女将さんに頼んで、取り寄せてもらったのですが、なんと擬似ステのV6シリ

私のパーカー･コレクションの中から、ヴァーヴ盤（スタジオ録音・コンサート録音）のほか、クラブやコンサート会場からの ライブ盤も取り上げ、現在聴く事のできるウイズ・ストリングスをリストアップし、収録されているレコードやＣＤの一覧を作成して見ました。 |

| このセッションは "The Jazz Scene" と呼ばれる1949年12月に発売した5000セット限定版の、 Norman Granz アンソロジーのために記
録されたものです。録音ストのためスタジオに空きが無く、やむなくカーネギー･ホールの録音スタジオを使用した。
ビッグバンドが録音したテープに、後日パーカーが、オーヴァー・ダビングしたと主張されてましたが、アル・ポーシノ(ヘフティ・
オーケストラのトランペット奏者)はこれを否定しています。（アル・ポーシノは、逆に「あれは後日パーカーが別にかぶせたんだ」と
言ったという説もある。）

ウイズ・ストリングスでは、これがパーカーの最初の録音です。 それは、しばしばこれはノーマン・グランツの考え(商魂のため)に
よるものか、またはパーカーのもの(彼のクラシック音楽の研究から、彼がいつもしたがっていたこと)であったかが、議論されたも
のです。しかし、ストリングスと共演するというアイデアはバード自身の考えだった。この演奏の中のジャスト・フレンズは最も売

Dave Uchitel(viola); Bill Bundy(cello); Wallace McManus(herp); Jimmy Munday(arr); unknown(m.c.). | |
| a | Interview with Charlie Parker (unknown MC) | 1:08 | ||
| MC: "We have two headliners at the theater -- I'd like to bring them both to you tonight. First: the Bird, Charlie Parker... Charlie? This is Parker with Strings... Charlie, welcome back; it's nice having you with us." CP: "Hello, it's good to be back." MC: "You've got quite a different aggregation with you this time, haven't you?" CP: "Yes, I have some bits have changed." MC: "Uh-huh. A full string section back there, including cello and viola and even a harp, right?" CP: "That's right." MC: "Whatcha gonna do?" CP: "I think we'll do a tune of Jimmy Mundy's entitled 'Easy to Love'..." MC: "'Easy to Love' -- I'll tell ya what, if you will, if you'll tell the audience a little something about it, I'm gonna move back there and get that mic of ours centered so we can pick up the strings, all right?" CP: "All right... This was an idea of mine from a few years ago, about seven, eight months ago I was lucky enough to record it, on the Mercury label. Six sides were released in an album. We're not gonna do any of those sides; instead we'll do a tune that was arranged by the inimitable Jimmy Mundy. We sincerely hope you enjoy 'Easy to Love'..." | ||||
| b | Easy To Love -aJM | 2:00 | ||
| c | Introduction (Unknown MC) | 1:07 | ||
| "There you have Parker with Strings -- Charlie Parker and the string group, 'Easy to Love'... It wasn't very, very many years ago that a very scared young lady stepped out on this stage introduced as the next on a list of amateurs, and I think one of the most thrilling experiences I've ever had in a... few years in this business was seeing the young lady wrap this house up, put it in her packet, and walk right off with it. The young lady then, the young lady today... the gone Miss Vaughan. Sarah Vaughan. One of my favorite people of all time. Sarah, welcome back to the Apollo." SV: "Well, I'm so glad to be here." MC: "Uh-huh. We're always glad to have you here. Pretty dress, too." SV: "Thank you." MC: "Saw a pretty dress you were wearing before, too." SV: "Thank you." MC: "Uh-huh. Who picks 'em out?" SV: "Me." MC: "Oh, you... Miss Vaughan has at the moment probably the biggest record she's ever had on the Columbia label. Believe me, it's a gone side; and Sarah, I don't think there's anything else you can sing tonight other than 'I Love the Guy'..." | ||||

アポロ劇場の司会者が観客に対してパーカー･ウイズ･ストリングスを紹介し、パーカーに話しかける。 「アポロに戻ってきておめでとう。しかし今回は、今までと違った編成のグループだね。 フル･ストリングス・セクションが後ろにいて、セロ、ヴィオラ、ハープまであるね。どんな曲を演奏するんだね」 パーカーが答える。 「ジミー・マンディーの書いたイージー・トゥ・ラブという曲だ。」 司会者が「それじゃお客様に、もう少し説明してくれないか」とパーカーに頼む。 「これは数年前からの私のアイデアです。7〜8ケ月前にマーキュリーにレコーディングしましたが、今日おきかせするのはそれではなく て、独創的なジミー・マンディーのアレンジしたものです。心から皆様のお気に召すことを願います。」 |

「イージー・トゥ・ラブ」でも聞き取れるチャイムと木琴。このセッションは長い間50年7月5日の録音とされていましたが、
コンプリート・オン・ヴァーヴの解説ではLate Summer に変更されています。フイル・シャープの調査では、「レコード会社のマスター原簿には、録音の日付が全くありませんが、秒数の
バランスから判断して1回のセッションで、最初の5つのタイトルを録音したことを示す。」としており、やはり２つのスタジオでの録音のようです。

CP: "It was a tune that was released in the Jazz Scene album not long ago, a composition of Neal Hefti's." SS: "An original thing." CP: "An original thing." SS: "Jazz Scene album." CP: "That's correct." SS: "Who had anything to do with that?" CP: "Well, Neal Hefti, and there was quite a large band on it, with Neal Hefti listed as composer and arranger." SS: "Good. Ah, we also didn't play that because I saw that you had it on the list for this morning, and we had a lot of requests for it and, ah, it's a beautiful thing, Bird. We get so many calls for it, it's marvelous." CP: "Thank you, Sid." SS: "How about, I'd like to ask you about this new recording that you just made, 'Leap Frog' -- is that the old 'Leap Frog' that Les Brown made with..." CP: "No, it's another thing altogether, it's an original, something of mine that Norman Granz decided he wanted to call 'Leap Frog'." SS: "And the other side you call 'Relaxing with Lee' -- who's Lee?" CP: "I don't have the slightest idea. They name those tunes after I leave the studio." SS: "They name it af... Could be Lee Konitz, it could be Lee, ah, somebody, I don't know... You know I only did this, Bird, because you have such a wonderful speaking voice, and not everybody gets a chance to hear you, and I thought that, you know, just gettin' you to talk a little bit would make everybody feel fine. Um, your original... Where is your home by the way?" CP: "Kansas City." SS: "I was gonna say that. We reach that far." CP: "You do?" SS: "Uh-huh." CP: "There's a chance friends of mine in my home town are listening?" SS: "I wonder if there's a friend in Kansas City this morning who is listening to Charlie Parker and Strings, I wonder would they call Bob Garrity in the snake pit over there at Justin 6 5454. Who do you think might be listening this morning?" CP: "I don't know. I have a lot of friends in Kansas City." SS: "You have a lot of... You do have a lot of friends in Kansas City. Well, just for kicks -- we've stopped taking requests, you know -- but just for kicks, it'd be real wonderful if somebody from Kansas City... Hey Garrity! Hey, ah, Dick Lyons! Dick? You listening? Stop runnin' your mouth with Garrity. This is the free hour -- this is the hour you don't work. So listen, you may get a call from Kansas City. If you do, ah, would you sort of rush it out? Anybody from Kansas City who's listening in this morning, call Justin 6 5454. By they time they get in, I got news for you, we'll be off. But anyhow, if they can get the call through, call Justin 6 5454, and I'm sure that Bird would like to hear from his friends. Bird, what we gonna do next?" CP: "Well, this is a recent recording, a recent release on the Mercury label -- it was recorded in the last session, 'They Can't Take That Away from Me'."

これはバードランドのパーカーとストリングの2回のWJZ土曜日の放送の2番目です。 ストリングス・グループは3月22日にバードランドで3週間にわたり出演契約を行い、3月24日と4月7日にWJZの放送を行いました。この期間中、
パーカーはバードランドで、クインテット（Gillespie、Bud Powell、Billy Taylor、Potter、 ヘインズ）の3月31日と4月8日の録音があります。 最後の3曲は、3月17日（または3月22日、Ken Vail著 Bird's Diaryによれば）のものとされていましたが、この日の演奏となります。 最後に、シンフォニー・シドは、「今朝、アポロシアターで会いましょう」と言っています。 Leif Bo Petersenは、Symphony Sidが4月6日に始まる週の、Apolloの請求書に記載されていると伝えています（ニューヨークのアムステルダム・ニュース、1951年4月7日の13ページ広告による）。

これは、ハーレムのロックランド・パレス・ボールルームで開催
された、ベンジャミン・デイビス（1903･9･8 - 1964･8･22 共産党のメンバーで、スミス法の条件の下に懲役5年を宣告されたニュー
ヨーク市議で、機関紙デーリー・ワーカーの主宰者）のための慈善コンサートです。 パーカーは、チャンの誕生日プレゼントとしてテープレコーダーをプレゼントしましたが、それで録音したもの。そして、彼女のこ の記録は数あるアイテムの中でも主要なものです。これらは、最初はドリス・シドナー・パーカーのチャーリー・パーカー・レコード （LP 401）で、1961年に出されました。
概ね、Jazz Classics のCDは、大きく改善されています。品質も非常に良く、チャン・パーカーのテープから紛失した、いくつかの
アイテムも含んでおります。いくつかの曲で、Bird Box盤とJazz Classics盤の間に重要な速度相違がありますが、Jazz Classics盤
には「全ての曲は、初めて修整されていて、適正なピッチと正しいキーで再生されます。」とメモされています。この制作者は、二つ
の現存しているモノラル・マスターから"Lester Leaps In”の「ステレオ・バージョン」を造りました。マスター・テープが結合され
たものも少しありますが、ほとんどの場合、これらの編集は僅かです。

| a | Introduction (Fred Collins) | 0:08 | ||

| b | Strings Theme (Voiceover [Collins]) | 0:39 | ||
| "...with this portion of Hear America Swingin', Stars in Jazz... Now, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Fred Collins again, and it's my very pleasant task to introduce a new sound tonight, across our NBC lines on Hear America Swingin', with a unique sound in modern music, the sound of Charlie Parker, his inimitable alto saxophone, and a brand new sound with strings, harp, and oboe. Starting off, Charlie Parker and Strings, from Birdland, and 'What is This Thing Called Love?'..." | ||||
| c | What Is This Thing Called Love? | 2:04 | ||
| d | Introduction | 0:52 | ||
| "Yes, tonight from Birdland on Broadway, the jazz corner of the world, right here at 52nd Street and Broadway in the heart of New York City, we're sending greetings to the city where jazz began, and that's New Orleans, down Louisiana way. Loyola University and New Orleans have always had an outstanding interest in all kinds of music, for instance the lovely Marguerite Piazza of our NBC Show of Shows is a New Orleans alumna. Then there's Charles Anthony of the Metropolitan Opera, and trumpet man Al Hirt, who's made a name for himself with many of the top bands in the nation. And of course Loyola University is a symbol of the great educational tradition of the Jesuits, which goes back more than four hundred years. But we're interested in the lighter side of the American school and college life tonight -- as we salute Loyola University. So for collegians everywhere, and for students, alumni, and friends of Loyola University in particular... Charlie Parker and Strings, now play 'Repetition'..."

| h | Introduction | 0:41 | ||
| "While you're listening to these fine sounds in modern music on Hear America Swingin' on this Stars in Jazz session, this would be a good time to remind all of you... lovers of modern music, that a concert will take place here in New York City at Carnegie Hall on the 25th, and what an aggregation of musicians will be there. Mr. Charlie Parker will be among them, Count Basie's Orchestra, the lovely Sarah Vaughan, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, the Modern Jazz Quartet, the Bill Davis Trio... If you're anywhere in the vicinity of New York, you certainly, for the sake of fine jazz, will want to see this wonderful program. Returning now to the music of Charlie Parker and Strings, now here on Stars in Jazz on Hear America Swingin', from Birdland, 'East of the Sun'..." (Incomplete on Ember) | ||||

Yes, we've been enjoying Stars in Jazz on Hear America Swingin', dedicated tonight to Loyola University and featuring Charlie Parker and Strings... Stars in Jazz, featuring the finest exponents in the world of modern music and jazz, is presented weekly by NBC through the courtesy of the American Federation of Musicians, James C. Petrillo, President. Next over most of these same stations, the latest news, then Hear America Swingin' returns to bring you Woody Herman and his Third Herd. Yes, Hear America Swingin' each week at this time on this NBC station. Another fresh and new NBC Radio Network production. Till next time, then, Fred Collins saying so long for now..." | ||||

パーカー・ウイズ・ストリングスは8月26日に、ディジー・ガレスピーとダイナ・ワシントンと共に、Birdlandでの3週間の契約で演奏を再開した。これは翌日の演奏でWABC局の放送です。 しかし、翌々日バード34歳の誕生日にはサイドメンとのトラブルが発生、パーカーはストリングス・メンバーを全員馘にしてしまった。 そこで出演料の支払いを要求するメンバーと騒動になり、このクラブの経営者から即刻パーカーは馘にされました。 パーカーは、帰宅後チャンと言い争い、浴室でヨードのビンの中身を飲み干し、さらにアスピリン錠剤一瓶を飲んで、自殺を図りまし た。 彼は、「潜伏分裂病（精神分裂症）」と診断され、ベルヴュー病院の半狂乱者収容棟に閉じ込められ、9月10日まで入院していた。 | |
