Charlie Parker’s early 1950s 10”s for Mercury Records and Clef Records are being released in a new box set, called The Mercury & Clef 10-Inch LP Collection, via Verve / UMe this December.

The five titles included are: Charlie Parker With Strings (1950), Bird and Diz (1952), Charlie Parker Plays South of the Border (1952), Charlie Parker with Strings (vol.2) (1953), and Charlie Parker (1954).

All the records are being reissued for the first time, with the exception of Bird and Diz.

Alongside the box set, Verve/UMe will release a collection of unreleased songs recorded during Bird’s visits to LA in the ’40s-’50s, called Bird in LA, next year.
