Alongside several dozen singles, Parrot Records managed to release only one LP (that would be Ahmad Jamal Plays) before folding. They sold their master tapes to the Chess label which then re-released Jamal's record as the more portentous Chamber Music of the New Jazz. Parrot recorded a couple more albums by other rookie bandleaders but never managed to release them: tenor saxophonist Johnny Griffin was one of those rookies. He eventually saw his debut leading on wax with Blue Note's Introducing Johnny Griffin in 1957.
Here is the discography surrounding Johnny Griffin's debut album:
Nice and Easy (1956 single)
Mil Dew (1956 single)
