From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Supersax was a Charlie Parker tribute band formed by Med Flory and Buddy Clark that debuted in 1972. Their music was comprised of harmonized arrangements of Charlie Parker’s music played by a saxophone section (2 altos, 2 tenors, and a baritone), rhythm section, and a brass instrument (trombone or trumpet). Notable brass soloists that recorded with the group included Conte Candoli (trumpet), Frank Rosolino (trombone) and Carl Fontana (trombone).

They won the Grammy Award for Best Jazz Performance by a Group in 1974.
