PARKER'S MOOD Charlie Parker All Stars with Miles Davis 1948 JAZZ!!

[xviewtifulalanx]

Who IS playing on this track?

[Finkanslig]

@xviewtifulalanx According to PROPER Records:

Recorded in New York on September 18, 1948.

Charlie Parker’s All Stars:

Miles Davis (tp), Charlie Parker (as), John Lewis (p), Curley Russell (b), Max Roach (d)

The same session had Miles Davis, trumpet, added for Barbados, Ah-Leu-Cha, & Constellation. :I:

[timsaxstanfield]

I would say he wasn't! Parker was blowin his horn like this when when Miles was just out of school! Maybe Miles is on some of the other tracks on the album but the record companies love repackaging Jazz in hindsight. Bird was the bollocks.

@timsaxstanfield

The flip side of this record (BARBADOS) was recorded the same time and there is definitely a Miles Davis horn there. I added it as a RESPONSE to this video. You might enjoy that one, it's very good, especially if you like MIles Davis.

[timsaxstanfield]

Given the lack of a trumpet anywhere on this recording can the poster "cdbpdx " please enlighten us as to what Mile Davis is actually playing?? lol

[cdbpdx]

@timsaxstanfield

Just going by what it says on the label. I would say he is playing the trumpet even if you can't hear it.

[TheCDanger]

As a college kid who has seen trouble, hoping for better days, I whistle this when I walk (someday I'll marry the girl who pipes in with the next part). I feel better knowing that there were --before me-- men like Bird, who were able to turn the turmoil in their souls into something beautiful and universal. The guy knew how to breathe.

[JaredAugerot]

Wow, this guy is on drugs!!! (in the "he is Freakin' amazing way.) too bad it was iodine.

[johngoo343]

2:25-2:33, that phrasing gets me every time. The way in which he changes chords there…just perfect.

QOUTE FROM MOSE ALLISON in the book Songwriters on songwriting . On Charlie Parkers Parkers Mood If you want to hear what someone with imagination and energy , What a Genius can do with a 12 bar blues , listen to that.

[fenderjones]

[impala327]

Maybe my fave Parker recording. The intro and outro are soooo moody. His tone is so HARD and bluesy.

[sweettea8534u]

@cdbpdx thank you thank you will you please also do the honnors of providing  us jazz lovers w/ Funky Blues.. also by Charlie Parker it's on the album:

Tease the Best of Burlesque

This is another one of my fave I have yet to find

Thank you once again

He was another great that's gone but his music will forever live on..........RIP Charlie

[g4ngst4m4n]
