| NOTES: The unbeatable combination of excellent songs, the singer's distinctive voice and delivery, the superb New Orleans studio band, and the arrangements and production genius of the Creole Beethoven, Wardell Quezerque (who was at the heightof his powers), made for a series of timeless recordings which are assembled here on CD for the first time. Quezerque, who was also one of four owners of the NOLA label (along with modern-day WWOZ program producer Clinton Scott), clearly took a personal interest in Parker's sessions for the label and put his magic touch on every track. It is certainly apparent throughout this program that both artist and producer were attunted to all the popular R&B trends of the day and did their best to emulate every kind of sound that caught their fancy, or better put, that they felt would capture the attention of the record-buying public. Parker sings his heart out in every setting, putting the stamp of his personality on everything he touches and mining the depths of the New Orleans rhythm & blues tradition for all it's worth.
