Dodo Marmarosa - Charlie Parker Septet 1946 ~ Ornithology (Take 1)



Personnel:
Charlie Parker - Alto Sax (head only)*
Miles Davis - Trumpet
Eli "Lucky" Thompson - Tenor Sax
Arvin Garrison - Guitar
Michael "Dodo" Marmarosa - Piano
Vic McMillan - Bass
Roy Porter - Drums

* This was Charlie Parker's second studio session as a leader.
Pianist Joe Albany and bassist Red Callender quit this session
suddenly, forcing Parker to spend valuable rehearsal time
finding replacements.
This was the first of 3 takes of Ornithology.
There was no Parker solo.
