This excellent compilation includes some spectacular Miles Davis rarities, all recorded during 1951-52. The May 1952 recording with Jackie McLean on alto and Don Elliot on vibes and mellophone(!) informs the Blue Note studio sessions collected on "Volume One". The June 1951 session, with JJ, Sonny, etc. might as well be called "Birth of Hard Bop". The last 3 tracks, a pick-up band, offer plain fun, with extremely bluesy renderings of bop standards. Of high interest to collectors..

Birdland is a jazz club started in New York City on December 15, 1949. The original Birdland, which was located at 1678 Broadway, just north of West 52nd Street in Manhattan, was closed in 1965 due to increased rents, but it re-opened for one night in 1979. A revival began in 1986.
The original Birdland was named by its owners, Morris Levy and Irving Levy, after alto saxophonist Charlie Parker, nicknamed "Bird", who served as the headliner for the club, although he was later banned from the venue at one point.

The neon sign at the front of the club said "Birdland. The Jazz Corner of the World". The venue seated 400 people and had space for a full orchestra. The name was carried through into the feature of caged finches inside the club.

The venue attracted other jazz musicians who also made recordings there. This includes Art Blakey's 1954 two-volume A Night at Birdland, most of John Coltrane's Live at Birdland and the Toshiko - Mariano Quartet's Live at Birdland. Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Louie Bellson, Bud Powell, Johnny Smith, Stan Getz, Lester Young, and many others made appearances. George Shearing's standard "Lullaby of Birdland" (1952) was named in the club's honor. The club's original master of ceremonies, the diminutive, four feet tall Pee Wee Marquette, was notorious for mispronouncing the names of musicians if they refused to tip him. The disc jockey Symphony Sid broadcast live on WJZ early in the club's existence.

During the 1950s, Birdland also became a fashionable place for celebrities to be seen, with Frank Sinatra and Ava Gardner, Gary Cooper, Marilyn Monroe, Sugar Ray Robinson, Marlene Dietrich, Joe Louis, Judy Garland and others as regulars. Despite this illustrious history, the club began to decline during the 1960s and closed in 1965.

The song "Birdland" of Weather Report is about that jazz club.
