Inglewood Jam, also known as Bird and Chet and Live at the Trade Winds, is a live album by jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker, recorded in California in 1952 with trumpet player Chet Baker and Sonny Criss. It was released by the Jazz Showcase label in 1978. [1]
Jazz critic Scott Yanow noted that "there are plenty of heated moments on this bop set." [2] The Penguin Guide to Jazz described the young Baker as "a modestly accomplished bebopper," and described Criss as "distinctive." The guide noted the "marvellous tension" between Baker and Parker during their solos on "Donna Lee," while both critics described the session as "historic." [3] [2]
