I asked Dick Hyman, the pianist on that date about what it was like playing with Bird 'n Diz and how did it come about? He wrote back"That was a nightly tv show, "Date on Broadway", on which I usually accompanied singers, along with a bassist, who that night was Sandy Block..Parker and Gillespie were the most distinguished of the guests, but the show existed before and after their appearance. We added drums (Charlie Smith) for the occasion....
....I had previously played a couple of times with Bird at Birdland and Cafe Society, but don't recall playing with Diz before this program. The occasion wasn't as momentous at the time as it has become since."

it feels weird to see Dizzy playing on a regular trumpet and to see him with a mustache. although gotta admit he knows how to rocka mustache! this is an awesome video :)
The drummer in this video is most definitely, no doubt about it whatsoever, Mr Stan Levy. He was a Bird and Diz regular drummer when Max was not around. Top draw drummer and a genuine leftie. He left the music profession in the 1970s and became a professional photographer.
Bird has the nonchalant look of a guy reading a lunch menu, yet he creates this amazing, passionate music. It's like he knows there is so much more he's not even breaking a musical sweat....
@billyshitcheese2 Oh yeah!! But....I have friends who saw him live, and they said the same thing, the guy is blowing insane stuff, but has the look of someone casually puffing on a cigar. Maybe for him it was easy, just as Mozart could casually compose the most amazing music whilst playing pool with friends
@billyshitcheese2 Dude, this was NOT mimed. There's a bunch of Bird videos that absolutely were mimed or lip-synched, but this one is not one of them. You can tell they're really playing if you pay attention, even when there's a bit of delay on the audio from the video.
@mpmrecords i think you'll find it was. other than the fact this is a version of hot house to be found on charlie parker - the complete dial masters, the drums, for one, aren't miked, and yet somehow sit well in the mix.
@billyshitcheese2 Just because there are no microphones doesn't mean that the track can't be mixed. All you need to record is one microphone, really. Musical skill should be the real mixer.
This set-up must be: Dizzy Gillespie, trumpet- Charlie Parker, altosax-
George Shearing, piano- Eddie Safranski. bass- The lefthanded drummer is Stan Levy, who regularily played in New York with Gillespie! They were all " Down Beat" pollwinners 1951 exept for Levy.
apparently the hosts of this broadcast were noticeably nicer to dizzy in the interview prior to their performance, which explains a lot of the sternness in both of their faces during the song. it was awkward to put dizzy above bird and neither of them was too happy about it
that's bullshit. there's plenty of video of bird playing live. something seriously wrong with u people to be ON youtube and say ignorant shit as if it were intelligent
@mambojazz1 Hey, i don't want to stay on you-tube and carry on being ignorant. Can you send something to my inbox about where I can get hold of these Parker vids playing live?
@gospelkeys07 No, you were right. In the video with Hawkins they were finger-synching their instruments to a pre recorded tune. So this is, in fact, the only video of bird playing live, as it were. It's one of two in which we get to see bird with his instrument, but the only one in which we actually get to see him play it.
@adamcontinenza hahaha i'm so sorry, i actually hit the dislike button on your comment because i was groovin, no shit. i would change if it let me and like it twice if i could
@guitarslim. Do tell! I recall that footage of "ballade" has no audio and "just friends" was dubbed. Perhaps I'm wrong. Would love to learn more. Thanks!
I'm pretty sure that the "all night all frantic one" 'Symphony' Sid Torin was not one of the white guys. I think the Downbeat award presenter was Leonard Feather and the condescending host was Earl Wilson.
Beautiful music. Is this the only film with audio featuring Bird's playing?
Regarding the white guy cut from this vid, that was Symphony Sid Torin. He was credited with helping popularize bebop in its early days as the top jazz DJ. While his "you boys" intro was cringe-inducing, I think it can be written off as part of his hipster lingo. Musicians seem to have tolerated him and saluted him in song, like the Lester Young/King Pleasure "Jumpin' with Symphony Sid." It begins ironically "Jumpin' with my boy Sid in the city, Mr. President of the DeeJay committee."
Absolute, utter perfection! In the mid-'60s, a record store in my area had a number of Charlie Parker's albums in their cutout bins priceed at 3 for a dollar. Silly them. I bought a copy of every one of them that they had! Best money I ever spent!!
The fucking mastaz Coltrane,Bird,Dizzie,Ellington,Davis,Monk I wish I lived those days this is the root of almost every new rithm today I just love Jazz it still being the king of all music long live the freedom -ARS LONGA VITA- too
I'm sorry. and i have a lot of people to apologize to. I never did dig him. I love Miles, Coltrane, Lester Young, Johnny Griffin, Charlie Rouse....Bird is so frenetic.
This is a jazz contrafact: Its harmonic structure is identical to the chords to Cole Porter's composition "What Is This Thing Called Love?," but has a different, complex melody. Love what those jazz guys can do with a structure.
Wonderful performance, but Bird looks terrible; this was filmed three years or less before his passing. Diz, though, plays with the same joy and exuberance he brought to so many of his performances.
It looks like Max Roach on drums, but can anyone name the bassist and pianist?
@PtolemyJones He still plays at the 92nd Street Y here in NYC with Eddie Locke and Frank Wess. He's only one of the greatest pianists in all jazz history.
@josiah566 The musicians' names were announced on another, longer, version of this video. It's also on YT. Unfortunately, I can't remember who posted it.
