Just looked it up there: "Bird prepared three of his finest and most sophisticated compositions - Chasin' the Bird, Donna Lee (named for Curly Russell's daughter) and Cheryl (named for Miles' daughter). His fourth original, Buzzy (named for Lubinsky's son), is a simple, but attractive riff blues." (from James Patrick's article on "The 1947-1948 Sessions" in said 5LP "Complete Savoy Studio Sessions" from 1978) i think i read somewhere that buzzy was named after (??) boston drummer buzzy drootin (spelling?)

To avoid this discussion gets lost in another longer thread: Donna Lee was Curley Russell's daughter.

Yes. Brian Priestley's "Chasin' the Bird," page 59: "... the 'Indiana'-based 'Donna Lee' was an original line put together by Miles, whose authorship ws contradicted by the record-label credit 'Parker' but confirmed by Gil Evans and many other observers." Also this, from Priestley's earlier, briefer "Charlie Parker": "Parker also uses a melodic 'macro-syncopation' of the length of phrases (a lack of which easily identifies tunes attributed to but not written by Parker, such as 'Ornithology' and 'Donna Lee')." I found this technical explanation on why 'Donna Lee' was not composed by Bird on some remote web:

Herbert Hoover Franklin D. Roosevelt Harry Truman

BTW, here´s the cover, very ECM-ish indeed:

I received this in an email from Polish Jazz Net:

Upping this old thread. Guy was kind enough to send me a copy of the magazine, that I received yesterday. The interview is really interesting, first-hand memories of those jazz greats... And as for the photos... no surprise here for the outstanding quality! Guy showed me a few dozens of the photographs he took in the sixties when I was at his place. Believe me, he has tons of marvellous pictures. I wish he could publish a book with all this stuff someday!

Just in case anyone asks who is that Torrebruno.... http://www.rosaspage.com/art/etorrebr.html

After all this nonsense we should start a serious thread on this wonderful pianist. ... without pictures!

Duh, not wanting to fill in the blanks?
