Watch Charlie Parker's face as this idiot talks down to him and Dizzie. Very few clips of Charlie Parker exist. I keep thinking someday a big box full of various films of him will be found somewhere. I DO NOT OWN RIGHTS TO THIS VIDEO

  • A) @ achiappa- They are insulted when refered to as 'boys', which in the 50's had a very racist connotation to it. B) I wish to god they would find that big box of film- no one like Parker before or since. BIRD LIVES!!!

  • Sidemen: Dick Hyman(piano), Jack Lesburg(bass), Charlie Smith(drums)...February 24, 1952

  • It's one thing to say "You boys got anything else to say?" and it's another to say "Get of my property, boy." I mean, they're giving out awards from Downbeat Magazine. You know, that publication that to this day champions Jazz as America's art form?

  • It must feel so gratifying to play the victim role, right?

    If Diz and Bird were white and the MC called them BOYS would that have been an issue? Should he have said, "Do you MEN got anything else to say?" Of course not. I remember my father referring to his friends as boys ... guess what - they were white. Oh, the horror!

    What I would say is ingrained is the automatic assumption of racism. Vilify, vilify, vilify.

  • @SoulDaddy33. Without malice? Racism is so ingrained...it's part of the thin, see thru fabric of the good 'ol u.s.of a.

  • Did you hear that pompous, entitled, little no class moron? You BOYS got anything more to say???!! Who in hell did that goofball think he was talkin to? Parker reply was beautiful though...lettin the music speak for itself.

  • Who's the piano player?

  • @achiappa :34 "You boys got anything else to say?" He's gonna call two of the most iconic musicians of all time "boys"? o.O

  • Who remembers Earl now? Dizzie and Bird always.

  • "Well, Earl, they say music speaks louder than words, so we'd rather voice our opinion that way, if you don't mind"
