@birdlives2000 ''Basically the same song to me just in a different key'' Please can i kick you in the ass for that? Look...They don't have the same harmonic progression or structure. Really, man???? They are both ballads and yes...at that time they liked to play ballads in that mood and style...but the same song in a different key?? Man if you don't play instruments and don't know the basics of harmony and melody...please don't go around saying this kinds of things. Apart from that, respect
The saxophone was just an extension of his soul. Unadulterated instinct to express himself. Chan Parker said he was the strongest man she ever knew. Just one note from Bird is enough to tell us how much he believed in his own voice. Oh to be around NY in the '40s ;)
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh man that's good!

Even falling down drunk he was amazing. I've always said I want this song played at my funeral. The tone is heartbreaking, like he's crying.
