versions of tunes like “Sly Mongoose” and “Gold Rush”. As a bonus, three rare Birdland broadcasts, including
the only existing collaborations of the saxophonist with pianist Kenny Drew. Includes 12-page booklet. The Rockland Palace was a Dance Hall,
and September 26, 1952 was a special occasion. The event lasted for more than five hours and Parker performed multiple sets, sometimes in a
