Charlie Parker - Dexterity

[EddieLandsberg]

Drummer is doing a great impression of a retard -- whoever the overdub is.

[whyd01need2]

This is not charlie Parker. This is Eric Dolphy playing.

[DailyBrusher]

This is 100% lame! Shred videos must say "X shreds!!" to be funny, and be a true "shreds" video. This is just dumb!!

[daigle65]

Everyone, this is a shredding video.

[bigtime360]

Um, that sounds a hell of a lot like Eric Dolphy. The footage is awesome, but I was a little put off by the fact that it's not Bird and Diz in the music. It's still cool.

[flanissimo]

@bigtime360 yeah. I love Parker and I love Dolphy. so, nice vid, right?

[karltstraub]

this is footage of parker and gillespie playing "hot house."

[MrNeary2010]

ok this is not the original song 2 this vid, but i likes it none the less

[linerwise]

The video and the music are surely from totaly different sources. This is not Charlie Parker nor Dizzy Gillespie playing... Sounds more like a modern version of the classic "Dexterity"...

[oldmus60]

Never is heard a discouraging .....?

[Elloit2345]

i didnt know dizzy was so great that his trumpet could sound like a saxaphone

[sewitt60]

Fake

[MrTurkishtan]

ART ENSABLE OF CHICAGO!! didn`t got the joke...

[ZLUGGO]

Is this how avantgarde jazz started?

[wutfoolsWUT]

DRUNK DRUMMER

HUU HUU UH

[electopr]

What's the author's intention here? To poke fun at Parker and the bebop era? Nonetheless... hilarious video... very ironic :D Such a casual entrance to the head after a despicable solo section.

[1AKur]

hahaha...dolphy..cool!

[siwi6]

asshole. but it was hilarious..

[chenneles]

you gotta admit that saxaphonist is playing some swingin lines, and that drummer is comping so tastefully



[lonhillyer]

the sound is terrible and wtf?

[shivabala9]

Sounds like the Art Ensemble of Chicago !!!!!!

[11cueball11]

wtf is this? how would you like it if i posted a celine dion video and used lady gaga's music?

[clarinutty99]

@11cueball11 the celine dion video would have been bad enough... terrible metaphor lol



[samfrizell]

not cool

[lucion128]

Eric Dolphy and Booker Little this is not funny to do that ...

[Guitfiddlejase]

Killer playing though!I love it!



[LeMoveableFeast]

..BEYOND SCOTCH TAPE

[2009012640085]

少し遊びすぎ 糖尿で死に真っ赤 ヒント与えすぎ〜

[jmorrow97]

This video cracks me up.

[caveman479]

Does anyone else notice that the recording and the video don't line up.

[Guitfiddlejase]

@caveman479 yeah-it's someone playing "Dexerity" and then merely running the audio over the Bird and Diz performance of "Hot House"...

[hendrikescharmann]

Eric Dolphy

[thbs35]

The drummer is clearly intoxicated.

[kevinherbert]

It's DIRD & BIZ...fool

[MrOrmus777]

Definitely not Bird and Diz but who is it?

[rubberbandsax]

gotta say. that bass man is walkin to the moon. even tho it's fake he knows his ray brown

[roscoesmithbeast]

It makes me sad that anybody actually thinks this is Bird.

[gustavoehler]

Now I understand why Jack kerouac loved so much Charlie..

[muddywatersjr1]

What a Jack Wagon.

[KlocTower86]

That's clearly footage from when they played hot house

[acglass]

Aweful sound, not Bird or Diz, Biggest fail on all of YouTube

[357bluenote]

Indeed this is not Parker playing, phrasing or making a sounds. Seems that digital weirdness has come to change history. The obfuscating, lying bastards are teaching the young and uninitiated. History means nothing. Welcome to the digital age and the web...

[dagangstah]

WHAT THE FUCK that is not Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie

[marcaba3]

I need the score of that one ... where I can get ... thanks

necesito la partitura de ese solo... donde la puedo conseguir... gracias

[battaglia01]

This is obviously a joke, half of the people posting comments here are fucking stupid

[Brian4hand]

Get a sense of humor people...Bird & Diz are still giants of music derp derp

[MichaelSchwartzJazz]

I love how Charlie Parker plays nothing like this, and the sound of the saxophone sucks too much to be him.

[scratchman274]

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

[dextepayne]

Disrespect to Bird, Diz and Art Ensemble, too. And yes, I laughed pretty hard. Now take it down.

[FMSV1P3R]

This is the Art Ensemble of Chicago. Not Bird.  Fail!

This is from the Album Jackson in your house.

[othello001]

VIDEO - PARKER & GILLESPIE.

MUSIC - ??????

[CrateofStolenDirt]

Not funny. If there were a satirical or humorous point to be made, the dishonest title could be overlooked. As it stands, I feel I must, with *all* due respect, cordially request that you fuck off and die, preferably from stomach cancer, if you'd be so kind.

As for the rest , please join me in flagging this video, and thumbs up this comment so it remains visible.

Thank you.

[societyforrealmusic]

that is, until the trumpet...

[societyforrealmusic]

Funny

[wsdjvgb]

WTF? Why do that?

[altrane40]

Fuck off.

[dnzg66]

Fucking obvious fake.

[powerkor]

playing the complete dean benedetti recordings with the video sound off works pretty good.

[dl0ya11]

Um.

[ggminnaar]

Sorry, I entered the wrong door. I was looking for Parker

[flanissimo]

this is fascinating, not infuriating. Parker is great and so is the music chosen for this youtube. The fact that it might trick some viewers merely shows how ignorant those viewers are of the history of 20th Century music. Also, because of this trick that infuriates some, you get a steady stream of passionate comments. Genius! Beautiful vid. Thank you for posting. Very very clever.

[polymath7]

@flanissimo The music is great, yes the title is dishonest. What's to misunderstand?

[uncasist]

This is Art Ensemble of Chicago. 

[ricaard]

Must one of those "shredders" videos...you can tell the guys, whoever they are, can actually play, they're just being douchey...

[ajack2boys]

Posting this when these great musicians fought their whole lives for an opportunity to have their genuis heard is very disrespectful to them.

[kevinherbert]

@ajack2boys : huh?????

[ajack2boys]

@kevinherbert IT"S NOT THEIR MUSIC. THEY ARE NOT PLAYING IN THIS VIDEO. THE ACTUAL VIDEO EXISTS IN WHICH THEY ARE PLAYING HOT HOUSE. WHY NOT USE THAT AND INTRODUCE PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT HAVE HEARD THEM PLAY TO THIS MUSIC INSTEAD OF THIS SHITTY SOUNDING, DISRESPECTFUL FAKE?

[HenryClarson]

@ajack2boys Must you shout?

[ajack2boys]

@HenryClarson Accidentally hitting a CAP key is far less a breach of decorum than is posting a fake video of truly great musicians who deserve to be heard on their own terms.

[HenryClarson]

@ajack2boys

Oh Jesus!

I just heard the soundtrack!!!

WTF?!?!

Now I get why you were shouting...

[ajack2boys]

@HenryClarson Thank you,

[HCL991]

This is the worst fake since mankind!

This made me laugh so hard, I fell off my chair! xD xD xD

And, who ever plays the alto solo is a genius in playing shit!

[riffraff6259]

anyone ever heard of the ART ENSEMBLE OF CHICACO ?

[mikethemike232]

SPA-A-A-M!

[sexyfatbastid]

This is not bird

[scsmith123]

what a piece of shit. fake as fuck.

[merxyfull]

this is really crap...

[zm61]

The description is misleading, therefore this can be flagged as spam

Get this removed so people who are trying to discover jazz don't have to run into this.

[DrewYTS]

fake. this is awful. 36 has alto and trumpet playing but the trumpet is down. you aslo did a horrible job of repeating the video at the end. Gillespie looks like he has terrets.

[Marlg]

terrible.

[AustinRssll]

I agree with mambojazz1... There's no way this is Bird. Have any of you actually listened to Parker play Dexterity? This sounds like shit... The actual recording would blow you away. Please get rid of this video. It's an insult to several of the greatest musicians in history.

[mambojazz1]

u sir are an ASSHOLE!! How DARE u ruin bird and dizzy with this bullshit soundtrack that I'm sure u actually played urself! ignorant bitches around the world actually wrote comments like "bird is genius" when it sounds like shit! fuck u!!

[brownlawnmowerent]

the way this is edited is fucking trippy dude keep up the good work

[enuverk]

quienes fueron los 137 sordos que pusieron el pulgar hacia abajo

[lordkuchki246]

@enuverk type in english.

[redsox14048]

not cool man. 

[laughingtiger123]

No, this is footage of HOT HOUSE from the 1950 Down Beat award show from DC. You added some other track to it and claim it is something it isn't. That isn't cool.

[Baruchyoseph8]

Thanks that there is a record .... there was and is no one like Charlie Parker ... one of a kind. The 136 don't probably don't like the fact that there isn't a recongnizable "tune" ....

[ajack2boys]

@Baruchyoseph8 No. We don't like it because the clip is a fake. It purports to be the music of Bird and Dizzy when it is not. That is the cause of the objections.

[Baruchyoseph8]

Thanks that there is a record .... there was and is no one like Charlie Parker ... one of a kind.

[Toracube]

No matter how many times I hear this it knocks me out. Always something new. They guy was such a great writer too.

[solablu]

out a sync out a sight

[MultiMomo66]

che bella musica

[NailujMa]

Wow. Who made this video? Great job!!!

[JazzJonnie]

What you done to this?

[cwarchc]

enjoy it for the time it was made

great music doesn't need gimmicks

[johnscck]

This video does not match the music. FAIL!

[giopagoda]

Art Ensemble of Chicago, right? Roscoe Mitchel sounds a bit like Eric Dolphy in the beginning with those descending arpeggios, but then goes back to Roscoe rsrsrs

What's really funny is that 90% of those who disliked it would say it's "interesting", "exuberant" or any other condescending sh*t if they knew from the beginning that this is the Art Ensemble of Chicago (which I'm assuming it is).

[ikcjjtt]

this must be free jazz or something..

[zm61]

how can you do this to one of my favorite songs and use the footage from his down beat hall of fame inauguration concert.

[Jazzdog40]

Is it Eric Dolphy? Or some shlub imitating Eric Dolphy? It's quite awful. And not funny.

[MusicalProgrammer]

what a fail!!

[robotennis61]

i think its great.tooo funny.

[robotennis61]

i guess its funny ,depending how u look @ it. but not funny to the poor schlubs actually playing.i feel so sorry for them. it sure sounds like they were really trying. my day is ruined.

[teddypantelas]

it's plain out wrong. nothing funny about it.

[RAevenman]

This is really funny!

[Saxation1]

yeah! Chicago Art Ensemble

[diabolikcucchi]

pigliata per il culo

[cameron935]

Naw man, I wanted to listen to the real deal! Come on, anyways it was sorta a funny when Charlie PArker went into his solo.

[marcelline7]

the best

[kingkoeller]

This is fake.

You are sick.

How dare you dis Bird and diz like this!

Perverted sick crap!

[dbehj176]

its almost the same thing as moose mooche

[NreeKelBastardos]

hehehehee Shreds!

[13XtrM]

Excellent!!!

[Dvareckas]

Charlie Parker Genius

[1madDogz]

Please put the correct sound track with this video i'd much rather hear the real Brid and Dizz music than the atonal crap that's there now.

[Sirvalorsax]

Please have the heart to remove this from your site. :(

[GMD825]

This needs to be reported !!!

[TheGREATESTniggaeva]

if u think this shit is a disrespect to the bird thumbs up this bitch

[ajack2boys]

@TheGREATESTniggaeva How stupid, shallow and vulgar

[likenob04]

What the fuck is your problem? This is utterly fake.

[MegaMiguelvargas]

Esto que coño es....?

[xlust4lifex]

I VI II V

[lestmbly]

This is a desecration of the Legacy of Parker and Dizzy...come on...to paste such an audio track onto sanctimonious archival video footage is a lie to those who don't realize it and a abomination to the memory of these two giants.

[Aefric]

quien se cree q este es Charlie Parker?? me caguen...

[sewitt60]

This sounds like Eric Dolphy. Why pretend what it's not? I hope that you feel proud.

[martynau]

What an asshole you are.

[solostrad]

fake and gay!!!!

[hanschook]

stupid! misusing rare Parker and Diz Hot House

[legrandmaitre]

Tut tut... fake...

[Rugt980]

this is da shit

[malurque]

why would you do this?

[MalibuColonyPlaza]

Sounds like Albert Ayler or Eric Dolphy on sax to me.

[sarevok]

FAKE!!!

[tat1685]

This was when they were going through a period of sobriety.

[Nikoz7Makaveli]

Please jazzfans who can help me? Theres a video here where a dutch cabaret is doing a piece of music by Charlie Parker and the beginning is just like All the things you are but the rest is totally different! Ive tried to copy the link but that doesnt work. Search: dat weer wel 3 and then the first video. It's easy done! It starts at 6:02 Please who can get the name of the song? It's the most beautiful song I've heard ever!! Please i'ts done in seconds !!

[xxquietriotxx]

yo, its name is "all the things you are" and it is charlie parker... hope i helped you :D

[smirda11111]

@Nikoz7Makaveli It is All the things you are!! The only thing that's missing is the melody, these chords are the same.

[Nikoz7Makaveli]

Thnxx! I found him as "Bird of paradise"!

[saxmoi]

petit salaupiaud, you will go directly in to your bed without listening, eric d and charlie m .... madre de dios..

[saxmoi]

parker is going to be back and kick your ass boy !

[robertodecarre]

HAHAHAHA SO FUNNY

[DURAOMAURO]

Just change the name of the video !

(-;

[realself1]

oh yeah

[tomo1806]

come on!!!! its funny

[improvarts1]

Ok, folks, the mystery is solved, the audio is the Art Ensemble of Chicago from their album A Message to Our Folks.  Anyone who thought this was Dizzy and Bird needs to retake Jazz History 101!

[jaimepaullamb]

funny! parker shreds. nice. nothing wrong with having fun. i love to see a bunch of moldy fig, neo-formalist, marsalisians get all uptight when people mess with 'tradition'. lucky you don't get the jazz police called on you.

and what's wrong with anthony braxton?

[mightyafrowhitey]

I feel like saying what a gay fucking video. but I don't wanna offend gay people.

[mightyafrowhitey]

that's not charlie parker.  it doesn't even sound like an alto sax. probably a tenor.

[kevinherbert]

@mightyafrowhitey : I've got a tenor on Parker...

[MalibuColonyPlaza]

@kevinherbert He played tenor rarely, but this isn't him. Bird was already gone when this was done.

[6stringANDacoke]

wtf i really wanted to listen to this

[strumped2]

You're not fooling anybody. The sax player sounds like a half-a** Eric Dolphy impersonator.

[meinldrummerocdp]

you can't post this video with this audio! it's absurd and mildly offensive

[joemusic93]

why is this dubbed? Charlie is not playing the audio, lol who dubs Charlie Parker?

[rk702]

Funny!!! Charlie Parker played better than this when he was five years old.. The next time you over dub Parker and Diz get someone to just throw some pots and pans down the stairs for drums because your drummer sucks...lol

[rupustre]

nunk habia escuchado un solo asii de charlie interesanteee..

[teniciay]

this sounds like anthony braxton

[reZapped]

what a unbelievable great theme melody!

history in music and how to resume til now?

[bopkick5]

interesting improvising by the great charlie parker . . . never heard him play like this before.  benzedrine anybody?

[franzleone]

vaffanculo

[miguelmafu]

el baterista es obama ! xD

ufffs q musica puro swing papa ..

[xrayversion1]

a shame this guy tried to commit suicide twice and did drugs.

[swishertoke213]

@xrayversion1 i dont think its a shame at all, it shows he was a pained artist, but because of his pain and his drug use he became one of the greatest jazz musicians of all time.

[themagicdragon1]

@xrayversion1

Lol bebbie downer.

[ShtotaKoya]

man thats no eric dolphy or some modern jazz giant, thats some kid that pulled of this junk.

i cant believe people are buying this shit.

[BuckshotLaFunke]

It's not Bird playing, of course. Is it Eric Dolphy? Nor is it Dizzy, of course, of course. Music not bad in itself.

[triniguitarman]

LOL nice trick.......

[etdejazz]

Nice Joke.

[951212ok]

ohhh man !!!! it isn't bird and diz !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they are some free jazz musicans, playing bop song from a new perspective. i think it is albert ayler, don chery, charlie haden , and billy higgins

[Owner46]

This is so wrong...

[vinnyguitarandbass]

drums sound like toys funny

[ZoDaLaLa]

great track, tho charlie parker here??? huh....

[dvnstvn9]

this isnt charlie parker....you lied to me :(
