|  | one of the First Albums by Charlie Parker that I Got&Needless to say I couldn't stop there.but this is a Great place to start just on the fact of Bird's Tone&Range.The Man was such a Musical Force.thinking of all the Great Talent that came from him is Incredible&Yet He had his own Musical Aura.truly One of a Kind.
| | | | Many Jazz saxophone players say they got Bird "figured out". Even 47 years after his death they still try to play like him. Listening to Bird on this CD you just know that no one can figure Bird out, nobody played like him and nobody will. The music here is from the late 40's early 50's. Miles Davis is no longer the sideman. The rhythm section is sometimes not quick enough to pick up on Bird's rhythmic changes - for Bird had a sense of rhythm I only heard in Armstrong's early solos. The genious that overflowed from Bird is evident in his sound, rhythm, melodic invention and harmonic explorations. Listening to Bird has been one of life's pleasures for me, and this CD is no exception.
This is music that should be listened to by all music lovers, regardless of their favorite genre.
| | | Just to correct a mistake I made, #7 is the song called My Little Suede Shoes w/the Cuban drummers.
| | This is truly the one to Have... | |
| | I'm surprised that not many people have reviewed this cd, it is wonderful. It has an excellent variety of songs so you hear Bird playing w/strings, big band, quintet and solo. I just love Mango Mangue the song performed with the Cuban bongo and congo players. Plus it has the classics (Now's the Time, Confirmation, etc). A great collection of songs and the SOUND QUALITY is great.
| | Sunday in the Park with Bird | |
| | | It's October. The leaves are falling. I'm walking in Lincoln Park at sunset. The sky is a brilliant red-orange. I'm holding hands with the girl I love, as we laugh and play like little children. I realize that the moment is perfect. That moment is this CD. I listen to this music and I can't help but imagine myself in that park, in that moment. It's just a wonderful collection of songs.
