[hcwollaston]

Don't you find that here Prez sounds even more like Paul Desmonds alto than Parker?

[jammmessenger]

@hcwollaston Are you serious ? Shouldn't that be the other way around ?

Prez and Yarbird...1949, I was but 1 year of age then

Amazing the way Lester seems to slip sideways in his solo instead of playing forwards.

Parker is on good form here, doing some really surprising stuff.

The way he plays with time here is amazing.

But who is the tenor who plays out the number?

There's Bach in classical Music. There's Parker for Jazz. He unfolded all possibilities out. There is really nothing new after him

[faceinstone]

And the bird could lay it fast and still go chill. Delicious stuff.

JEEEEEEEEEEE

ZUSSSSSSSSSS!

This is a great excerpt, from one of the heydays of jazz, past. ... IMO, it contains one of Lester Young's GREATest solos of all ... esp. in his post-War days on the tenor sax. It's nice to have Eldridge's lead-in, Parker's solo, et. al. ... but Young's solo is one his most cogent, heartfelt and memorable of all.

[bluecjh]

Parker's solo is breathtaking, less bluesy, than usual. He sounds for moments like Paul Desmond, but of course not, Parker is the master, toying, inventing up and down, the notes falling.... fantastic.
