About this album

Supersax’s Salt Peanuts is a smart, exhilarating Charlie Parker tribute that translates bebop into crisp, harmonised ensemble writing. Issued in 1974, the album continued the group’s distinctive concept of recreating Bird’s solos and phrases with a full saxophone section, revealing the architecture inside Parker’s improvisations rather than merely copying them. The result is both scholarly and swinging, with the precision of a modern jazz orchestra and the nerve of hard bop. Featuring Parker-associated staples such as Yardbird Suite, Groovin’ High, Confirmation and Salt Peanuts, it stands as one of the most inventive homage records of the 1970s.
