Hear the blazingly fast birth of bebop at the dawn of the postwar era – amazingly syncopated unison lines played by Diz and Bird at high velocity. Bursting with optimism and boldly leading the way forward – one has to marvel at the magnitude of a track like “Shaw ‘Nuff”.
Recorded in New York City on May 11, 1945
