Hardbopjazz Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 August 29, 1920 - March 12, 1955. I've been playing nothing but Charlie Parker today. Bird Lives!!! Quote
fasstrack Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Always a good thing. But when I saw the topic title I though this was gonna be about Bret Primack's old blog-especially with that avatar! Quote
JohnS Posted March 12, 2013 Report Posted March 12, 2013 Bird should be played at least once a week to keep everything else in perspective. Quote
Gheorghe Posted March 13, 2013 Report Posted March 13, 2013 Strange ! I wasn´t aware of March 12th, but yesterday and the days before I listened frequently to Bird. Starting with Sunday it was the Savoy and Dialsessions, the Birdland All Star 1950 and the Summit Meeting at Birdland 1951, well and yesterday on March 12th it was the 1947 Carnegie Hall stuff with Diz (by the way, some of the greatest Bird solos ever).

JSngry Posted March 14, 2013 Report Posted March 14, 2013 Just a quick update - I got up this morning and Bird was passed out on my sofa. Woke him up, gave him a cup of coffee, and he stumbled out the back door to god knows where. I think maybe a sinkhole got him, but if I know Bird, he found a way out and is probably halfway to Fort Worth now. So yeah, Bird lives, although I don't know that you can really call that living.
