In January 1949, Charlie Parker recorded for the first time for Norman Granz’s Clef Records at a session with Machito And His Orchestra. More sessions soon followed, and he appeared at the JATP at Carnegie Hall in February, that were recorded featuring Fats Navarro (trumpet) Tommy Turk (trombone) Sonny Criss, Flip Phillips (tenor saxophone) Hank Jones (piano) Ray Brown (bass) and Shelly Manne (drums). But that initial session yielded the magnificent "Charlie Parker With Strings".
