Charlie Mariano Plays

Description: Personnel: Charlie Mariano (as), Stu Williamson (tp), Frank Rosolino (tb), Claude Williamson (p), Max Bennett (b), Stan Levey (d) Altoist Charlie Mariano, active since the late Forties playing around his native Boston, became much better known through his stay at Stan Kenton's orchestra (1953-1955). He managed to assert his own individual quality and his own musical importance while keeping a deep-seated devotion to Charlie Parker. On these early sides, recorded in Los Angeles, Mariano blows with a great deal of emotion, authority, bite and consistency, showing why he became one of the most demanded studio sidemen in the West Coast (1953-1957) as well as one of the most important altoists in modern jazz since Charlie Parker. —Jordi Pujol TRACKLIST: 01.
