Charlie Parker for Piano (Jazz Masters) [Paperback] Review

While this transcription book has some good Bird solos in it, I was always confused about the solos on "Good Dues Blues," "One Bass Hit," "Ray's Idea," "Oop Bop Sh-Bam," "That's Earl, Brother," and "Things To Come."I couldn't find them on any Charlie Parker recordings.Jamey Aebersold's website even goes so far as to say that they are transcriptions of "Unrecorded" Bird solos.I finally realized that they actually can all be found on Dizzy Gillespie recordings, but the soloist is not Charlie Parker but Sonny Stitt.While they do sound similar, I think it's going way too far to put Stitt solos in a book of Bird transcriptions, and I'm surprised this error hasn't been caught in the 20 years or so that this book has been in print.Oh well.
