I have just finished my practice on this Donna Lee.... 14 days and it is in my head :p

(i'm 14 years old XD)

[Zaul2410]

Who wrote Donna Lee anyway?

some say Miles, some say Parker

anyone with a clue?

[Ningxiabird]

@Zaul2410 Come on, a tune like that, it has to be Charlie Parker. Does is SOUND like a miles davis tune? :-) I think Miles just took the credit as usual.

[Zaul2410]

@Ningxiabird I do also think that Parker wrote it

it definitely souns like him

to me one of the Be Bop Anthems

(not to mention "Bebop" by Gillespie)

[Bloomdidioful]

@Zaul2410 Miles wrote Miles wrote it. Officially its Parker. I dunno. Sounds just like a Parker thing to me. But why would Miles lie? He' has enough credits already, he doesn't need any more.

@Marteljustin i know its disapointing. we should share it more and get half a million views xD

[tjawify]

@Marteljustin well I'm for one speechles ev'ry time i hear him play....what's to say rlly? ))

[Ningxiabird]

@tjawify Yeah, I don't know.. Of course he Bird is a virtuoso blockbuster, but I prefer Cannonball for example. His phrasing is so kind of joyful & swings so much more than Bird. Just listen to a classic like All Blues, Cannonball's solo just grabs your ears in a way that Bird somehow doesn't.
