Line 83:
In 1950, Parker and Gillespie recorded ''[[Bird and Diz]]'', an album that proved to be among the few times Parker worked with bebop pianist [[Thelonious Monk]]; the music was released in 1952.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bird and Diz – Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie |url=http://www.allmusic.com/album/bird-and-diz-mw0000188496 |website=AllMusic}}</ref> Meanwhile, Parker's regular group maintained popular success with a European tour in 1950<ref name=":2" /> and live gigs at New York nightclubs continued, leading to live albums ''[[One Night in Birdland]]'' (with [[Fats Navarro]] and Powell) and ''[[Summit Meeting at Birdland]]'' (with Gillespie and Powell). However, Parker became frustrated and disillusioned that, due to racial discrimination, he was reaching the limits of what he would be able to achieve in his career.{{Sfn|Priestley|1984|pp=39–44|p=}}
In 1953, Parker performed at [[Massey Hall]] in Toronto, joined by Gillespie, Mingus, Powell, and Roach.<ref name="Penguin9">{{cite book |last1=Cook |first1=Richard |author-link=Richard Cook (journalist) |
Other live, and often [[Bootleg recording|bootleg]], recordings of Parker were made in the early 1950s, frequently with groups other than his usual quintet. Among the most notable of these recordings, particularly from the perspective of critics, were ''Charlie Parker in Sweden'' (recorded during his 1950 Sweden tour), ''[[Bird at St. Nick's]]'' (with Red Rodney), ''[[Inglewood Jam]]'' (recorded in 1952 with [[Chet Baker]]), [[Live at Rockland Palace|''Live at Rockland Palace'']] (recorded live with his quintet and string accompaniment), ''Charlie Parker at Storyville'' (with [[Herb Pomeroy]] and [[Red Garland]]), and ''[[The Washington Concerts]]'' (recorded unrehearsed in 1953 with a big band).<ref name="Penguin9" />
