"Bloomdido" Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie

[kingpleasure]

From start to finish this is one of the most perfect pieces of music ever played.

i still think this would be better if bud spencer had a scat solo.

[nadeshikodia]

I love the piano part:)

What a lovely opener on the trumpet solo.

Buddy Rich is on the Drums

[MrHoboFlats]

Those were the days of great music! But I am a fan of the later style named Hardbob. America and Africa was a great combination and fusion for Jazz music! Thanks for placing.

[0101mariusz]

Yes, this is Dizzy, sorry for mistake.

[0101mariusz]

Hey, it is not Dizzy Gillespie, it is young Miles Davis on trumpet.

[andrew001237]

@0101mariusz No, this is definitely Dizzy. There is a recording of this with Davis on trumpet but this is the cut with Gillespie. his styly comes through especially at 1:40-1:46 and 1:52.

Nice to hear Monk on this one. His technically limited yet most brilliant style says more than all spoken words alltogether

[postatility]

@Dinscripter Monk had loads of technique,especially early in his career(1940's-early 50's) If you want a good example,listen to his 1952 recording of "Skippy". He just made a conscious decision to come up with his own distinctive style,instead of trying to sound like Tatum or Powell.

[WindyCityJazz]

@postatility Yeah, nobody sounds like Monk. He was one of a kind. Monk also wrote a lot of VERY complex compositions. I think it was 25 takes they did of "Brilliant Corners" and still didn't have a complete take. Then Orrin Keepnews took the 25 incomplete takes and was able to knit together a full version. There will never be another Thelonious Monk.
