Did you ever say "I sure would like to have been a fly on the wall for the recording of that album?" Now you can be, with Verve's Master Edition of BIRD AND DIZ, the final collaborative recording date by the two giants of bebop. This was also the only time the duo ever recorded with Thelonious Monk. Every utterance from the session is preserved here, including mistakes, false starts and studio chatter. The quicksilver bop lines of Parker's sax and Gillespie's trumpet ride over the angular piano punctuation of Monk and the bombastic drumming of Buddy Rich.
