Brad Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 I'm not sure this is the right place for this but when I was driving home tonight, the host on WKCR was playing a song by somebody doing a very good imitation of Bird on Star Eyes, featuring some trumpet, which was then followed by on the same track a poem about Bird where every line rhymed. It was very strange. Then the track or record continued with again some good Bird imitation and then a poem that started talking off about Max and seguing into bebop. I never knew found out who did it. Does this ring bells with anybody? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Fitzgerald Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Yes - this is on Timeless called "The Charlie Parker Memorial Band". The poem is by Walter Bishop, Jr. Alto player is Harold Jefta. http://www.timelessjazz.com/shop/product_i...126&language=en Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad Posted January 7, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Man, you're quick. I see that it's Walter Bishop doing the narration. It's some very weird poetry, maybe half tongue in cheek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
