Ok, this isn't a soundtrack and technically Charlie Parker With Strings shouldn't be here, but this classy collection of mesmerising performances featuring Charlie Parker playing with a small string ensemble, creates a movie in your mind.Recorded and produced in 1949 by jazz visionary Norman Granz, Charlie Parker With Strings was the first release to feature a jazz soloist backed by violins. 'Bird' takes the opportunity to soar above the occasionally syrupy strings and reinforces his reputation as arguably the greatest improviser of all time.
After a frustrating day battling the snow, that's if you're in the UK, take time to chill out with this cool collection.

love this. a roommate had it once upon a time. long ago. happy to have it again!
Sorry to ask such a stupid question, but... where's the download link?
I've tried this page in two different browsers, even turned my JavaScript blocker off, but can't seem to find a download link anywhere.
This isn't good, as I'm a really huge Charlie Parker fan.
TIA.
