A tribute to Birdland, Charlie Parker & Jazz by Frank Rozasy

[rozasy]

Bebop and Destruction tune Danger 3rd rail. The original music I had fit the photos way better but had some copyrite problems.

Regrets? None...oh wait, just one. Not seeing Charlie Parker at Birdland.

You see I was born in 1948. Darn.

[cha5]

A very nice tribute.

Jazz artists of this era took the beat away from the bass drum and kept time with the cymbal, at a fast tempo in order to differentiate it from swing and in the process elevate it to a higher art form.

beautiful thank you 

[DavMit55]

Wow, I wish I was born earlier to be able to be a part of THAT scene. MUch cooler than what we have today. Thanks to people like you for keeping Bird alive...

Great tribute. I remember seeing 'trane there in the early 60s, I was sitting in the "peanut gallery", as a teen. All that's missing is Pee Wee Marquette in his Phillip Morris uniform. :)

Thanks for posting this!

[BuckshotLaFunke]

Well done, some beautiful pictures and great music! Thanks, man.

[sandwich451]

[BOTTOM432]

WHat's the name of this tune ? and who ist it?

[mfab65]

very nice, especially after having read the miles biography.

[rozasy]

the original birdland is not there anymore, there is another on at a different location.

[Jedimaster20]

Is birdland still there in New York?

[jazzflutist]

Well, I expected to hear Bird playing, but I guess the lyrics fit, even if the music destroys the whole vibe associated with him.

I'd say use a different music track. Not to be critical. Some of the pictures I've never seen, so thanks Frank.

[joebandana]

That was so cool, I'd only seen about half of those pics before they were so great to look at thanks heaps for this!

[SouthernWasp]
