Confirmation - Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie

[JacksonFive500]

who else is on this recording other Bird and Dizzy?

[malcocreative]

Between the Bird and Claude Debussy I would have to agree that everything's been everything's been said that needs to be said. All you musicians can go home now. The gig's over.

BIRD ＆ DIZ／Confirmation

[TheCentaur23]

This performance was recorded at Carnegie Hall in September 1947 and features John Lewis, Al McKibbon and Joe Harris along with Dizzy and Bird. It's not from Chicago or 1950.

Why did Bird have to die so young?

[michalskij]

@TheDarkLordofSaxes because he liked drugs :)

but i think he said all what was necessary for tonal jazz of 20th century

[KillswitchEngage42]

@michalskij Haha, no man, he liked the drink :) Bird drank himself to death. The heroin surprisingly didn't kill him.

@TheDarkLordofSaxes he didn't like drugs, he became addicted to them, drugs at that time were controlled by the system largely governed by the white people, that's why today they have spread them everywhere in society especially black areas. they made sure that this african american prince of music, was taken down, they made sure they could get as many people as they could. unfortunately he became a victim, yet as a result of hardship and all of that,

@TheDarkLordofSaxes Drugs son. They do it every time. 

[clh2192]

@TheDarkLordofSaxes Rumor has it that drugs are bad for you-lol. For all the musical good he did, he was the pied piper of heroin in the Black community. Jazz musicians were like athletes and Parker was Jordan. Perhaps his death was really a sacrifice to atone for his sins. Jazz guys got clean after that. Those who could. Notice herron use didn't plague R&B, Soul, funk, dance, house, hip-hop...etc going forward. For the white rock guys? Not so much. Race matters I guess.

[gelchert]

@clh2192 I wish that were the case, but Trane, Red Garland, and Bill Evans all had notorious heroin problems, though Trane got the better of his.

[september888able]

@TheDarkLordofSaxes cause he was genius.



[altoplayer69]

Forget the sound quality, listen to bird blow!  SUCH A LONG SOLO! And he really goes for it!

[douglasgorney]

Amazingly clear recording for the period — live or studio. A revelation. Must get this album.

[kaseyWtrumpet]

This is an amazingly clear album from Bird.
