I Remember Bird

• Track Listing

"I Remember Bird" is a must-listen for any 70s jazz and bebop fans. Originally released in 1977 on the prestigious Catalyst jazz label, this record is Sonny Stitt's tribute to the legendary saxophonist Charlie Parker, affectionately known as "Bird." Stitt himself is a highly regarded saxophonist, and delivers technical virtuosity and emotive playing throughout. The album features a mix of original compositions and arrangements by Stitt as well as covers of some of Parker's most well-known songs. Stitt is accompanied by an exceptional group of musicians, including pianist Dolo Coker, bassist Allen Jackson, and drummer Clarence Johnston.
