  • Bird forever

  • Damn right. The Best Ever. Full Stop. All subsequent jazz saxophonists, great or not, have devoted their musical lives to approaching/re-creating the depth and emotional impact of Bird. None have succeeded. It's out there for all our ears to hear. Bird changed music forever.

  • Sweet... so sweet.. love this piece, love Charlie Parker....

  • I'm pretty sure Parker playing this is what got me hooked on jazz.

  • @TheCentaur23

    Yeah. It's truly a shame he didn't live longer. He had so much more to give, so much more to influence. There's no telling where music would be today if he had lived a full life.

  • This is just take 1 -- at 0:44 you can hear him improvise the riff that will become the basis for take 2

  • @TheCentaur23 Certainly the most impactful...

  • Great

  • @TheCentaur23 stop exaggerating you prick

  • It goes exactly with my feelings today... exactly what I was looking for--

    Thank you for uploading

  • dramatic solo ! Bird lives

    a lot of thanks

  • Bird's fervent lyricism was what set him apart from his imitators,who could only run the changes of a ballad like this. His blues feeling gave a earthiness to his ballad

    playing,that was never sweet,or syrupy.But he got the romantic message across

    nontheless!
