Just received an email from Ablolute Distribution(FreshSound). There's a new release by RLR Records, "At Jiryar Zorthian's Ranch, July 14, 1952" RLR88622. Ok all you Bird experts, tell me something about this release. I probably will have purchased it before anyone responds.........................

This has floated between collectors for a long time. I was offered a copy last year and started this thread which has a lot of info in it. Be advised that the sound sucks.

WELL, it sounds better than SOME live Bird. Better than that one Birdology for example where Bird plays in front of Diz's big band. . . !

Who's this cat, Bird anyway.

[jazzbo]

Seems like he was a ranch hand somewhere in CaliforneyeA.

Bird is Shinichi Osawa'a latest protege. Monday's even written some songs for her.

You think I'm kidding, but I'm not.

[jazzbo]

I know you're not.

That's the OTHER BIRD though. The Yellow Bird.

Yea, on that CD you practically had to take their word for it that it was in fact Bird playing in front of Diz's big band.
