Bird was the best instrumentalist of the twentieth century!! Thelonious Monk was the second best. Wish I could've been alive during this magical era and seen them live. So many great stories about Parker have been told. I'm grateful that we have recordings of him. Words alone couldn't have done him justice trying to describe him as a soloist.
