Summit Meeting at Birdland is a live album by alto saxophonist Charlie Parker recorded at Birdland in New York City in 1951 and 1953. It was released by Columbia Records in 1977.[1]
History
The first side of the album, recorded in 1951, includes Parker with sidemen Dizzy Gillespie on trumpet, Bud Powell on piano, Tommy Potter on bass, and Roy Haynes on drums. A March 1953 club date with Parker and the Milt Buckner Trio produced one track, "Groovin' High". The final May gig with Parker and pianist John Lewis, bassist Curley Russell, drummer Kenny Clarke, and percussionist Cándido Camero completed the B-side of the LP.[1][2]
