"All the way up the horn."

Just incredible to be able to hear this.

For Bird, each key had the very same value. He demonstrated how he played the scales: Not in the usual practice from C to G to D to A to E to B to F#, then from F to Bb to Eb to Ab to Db to Gb, no, he played them from one tone, up to the next half-tone, chromatically. ∽∽ That way of thinking chromatically enabled him to play easily in each possible key. ∽∽ The rest is about the unique way how he put all those things together, how he created all those melodies & rhythms and made them swing.
