Although produced by Norman Granz, known for large ensembles at the time,[8] the album contains compositions performed with the standard bebop instrumentation of saxophone, trumpet, piano, bass, and drums.[9] In a 1952 four-star review of Bird and Diz, a DownBeat magazine columnist wrote of Granz's contribution to the album's sound, stating "Though there is no mention of bop in Norman Granz'[s] notes, we owe him a salvo for reminding us through this LP that this music is still very much alive."[2] It is the final collaborative studio recording by Parker and Gillespie,[4] and has been reissued several times by Verve and PolyGram Records.[9]
Track listing
Included on the original LP, "Passport" and "Visa" were omitted from the reissue because they were not recorded during the 1950 Bird and Diz session.
