• Like most of the bootleg recordings of Charlie Parker, made by audience members on primitive equipment, the sound quality of BIRD ON 52ND ST. is poor. Nevertheless, despite surface noise and an imbalanced "mix" (Duke Jordans piano and Miles Davis trumpet can hardly be heard), there are some outstanding examples of Parkers art. At the time of this recording Parker had just returned from recuperating in a mental hospital in California and was, surprisingly, playing better than ever.
• Here, on tracks like "The Way You Look Tonight," "Hot House" and "Dizzy Atmosphere," Parkers soulful, dazzlingly mercurial lines animate the space they occupy like strings of fire. Especially prominent is the dialogue Parker establishes with drummer Max Roach, the two of them seeking out the hidden rhythms of each song--horn, snare and cymbal creating new shifting structures inside the standard 4/4 time signature. Sound quality issues aside, BIRD ON 52ND ST. is essential for collectors and a fine example of Birds conceptual and technical fluency on stage.

Professional Reviews: Rolling Stone (7/9/70, p.39) - "...This is Charlie Parker relaxed and mellow, telling his story over a dozen or more choruses, displaying a sense of humor broader than the (generally) more cerebral and cosmic humor that came out of the strict studio environment..."
