Charlie Parker on film.

[Hardbopjazz]

Besides the film of Bird and Dizzy’s doing “Hot house” and the studio film of him with Coleman Hawkins, is there anything else with Bird on film?

Pretty sure that's all there is.

The "Hot House" is a funny thing. Bird and Diz are in top form, the piano player Dick Hyman is ok, but doesn´t really sound as if he was used to play that style. It sounds more like a classical trained musician, who plays "jazz". And you only see his hands, which is annoying, why don´t you see him play. 

And the bass and drums is just terrible. That bass player jumping up and down while playing and that drummer with that silly grin, who plays more like a kind of Gene Krupa style.
