Thanks to God that this gift was given to us in harmony and rhythm.

There are no words to describe the poetry, beauty and perfection of this solo. Bird was a genious.

@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:

Who IS playing on this track?

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.

@henrywasserman Don't thank god, thank charlie parker.

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

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.

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