Despite the musical scat Parker somehow kept the tune intact,which you cannot say for everybody. There used to be a tribute to Byrd in the student union at Pitt .He went with the saints too early for my generation [ mid to late 50's] but fortunately he was recorded liberally and has been digitized for posterity
i grew up listening to this. it takes me back home. This man died so long ago and yet, he has lived in my family for years. My brother in law still has his 78s. i am glad that when i was a child my brothers and the in law let me listen to this kind of music. i love Mr. Parker with all my musical heart! Thanks.
@Maschio Alfonso; @dntinpalevo: Thanks for your kind comments. I'm so glad you like it. I think with this piece Charlie Parker gives us another sign of his incredible brilliance and not an only techinical one, but also a conceptual one. That's the thing.

Trumpet and trombone solos seem so . . . anachronistic . . . compared to Parker. Piano is bit hipper, but Bird is forever.

There was so much music in this man's soul. So much pure, unadalturated artistry.And he was only 34.
God bless you, Bird.
