[78-L] Happy 100th, Prez! - unknown alternate Decca take

[Malcolm Smith]

'As for Bird, I think that Pres is certainly someone from whom I  
would like
to hear every single note he played.'

Bird (Parker) seldom seemed to play anything the same way twice. This  
is why, thankfully, there were often recording machines running when  
he performed. There are many crude but fascinating pressings from  
these recordings.
