Nathaniel Facey, Deelee Dubé

Charlie Parker On Dial focuses on just two years of Bird’s hectic life – the period he recorded with Ross Russell’s Dial label, producing classics such as Ornithology, Night in Tunisia, Relaxin’ at Camarillo, Scrapple From The Apple and Klacto-veeseds-tene – and revolutionising 1940s jazz in the process.

Alto sax virtuoso Nathaniel Facey leads this narrated celebration of jazz genius Charlie Parker, with a band including Steve Fishwick (trumpet), Alex Webb (piano/MD), Aliocha Thevenet (guitar), Alex Davis (bass) and Andy Chapman (drums), along with special guest, vocalist Vimala Rowe, whose album 'Out Of The Sky' was a Sunday Times jazz album of 2016.
