Ultimate Cool compiles a cross section of some of jazz legend Charlie Parker's more romantic and laid-back recordings. Included are small-group recordings alongside big-band dates and even some of his orchestral standard sessions. While in no way definitive, this is a solid, easy listening selection of Parker recordings, perfect for dinner and background music.
