re bassmuffwah charlie parker invented the style of be bop. john coltrane is possibly one of the best sax players we have had the experience to hear, and, his music will live on forever as well, but bird started something that was never before heard.
Blissful Bird with Miles, Lucky Thompson and Dodo Marmarosa. Wonderful stuff the very peak of the Jazz genre, nothing better since in my (humble) opinion.
Nobody improved as well as bird, and he was the torch to the short lived flare that was bebop, everything after him, a derivative, the phenonema of Bird defines genius . To call him "one of the pioneers "is an incredibly lame way to describe, by far, the greatest musician, of the 20th century. People say "Bird Lives" because his music transcends time, his influence, incalculable. His sense of timing,nuance,and invention is in it's own class. Just listen as he constantly refreshes his approach
@pqskater4life john coltrane, not to take anything away from bird but there is no greatest musician of the 20th century, cause at a certain point there are a bunch of greats.
Love this song!
Doing a sort of...mashup of this and 'How High The Moon' with the jazz ensemble at my school, complete with vocals. Should be fun.
Thanks for uploading.

I need to post my version as Parkers playing is unbeliveable and needs to be heard. Absolutely no faking from the master!
