- This is not only my tribute to the late, great Charlie Parker (1921-1955), but also to some of the legends who have left us, yet left a great legacy of music behind with us to enjoy. In addition, this is kind of what happens when you get the true talents of hip hop, contemporary jazz and Quincy Jones all in the same room together. Kool Moe Dee and Big Daddy Kane are doing the intro

This song should be required for all music classes...these people were probably the greatest musicians/singers of the 20th century...
Man...I wore this tape out when i got this thing.....But I got this tape back when I was 14 yrs old. I just respected music and as you can see only Q can get this talent all on one album....love the Q...love the Q
it's sad that so many of these performers are no longer here.
Quincy Jones, I think is the only one to get them together.
One of the few albums that I can play without skipping a song other than Mos Def's "Black on Both Sides" & Jill Scott "Who Is Jill Scott?".
Black on Both Sides is phenomenal ❤
This song was the sh## Thank you Quincy Jones
[Intro: Charlie Parker & Quincy Jones]
It had to be sweetness
'Cause I'd been in New York all the time, and he brought Charlie Parker in this hotel room, in the Booker Washington Hotel
There was nothing to do but play, you know, and we had a lot of fun trying to play, you know
That man, Charlie Parker, was mine
That was the first time I ever had the pleasure to meet Dizzy Gillespie
I can remember Miles
Miles was in my original band
And Charlie Parker created the sound, and the moment I heard him I said, "that's how music should sound"
[Verse 1: Kool Moe Dee]
A tribute to the Birdman, the father of Birdland
A masterpiece that release the horns, words and
The musical greats, salute the late
Mentor, inventor of a sound that dates back
From bebop to pop and pop to hip hop
We fused the times of jazzing rhymes and got
Kool Moe Dee and Big Daddy Kane
To bring on the legends; Kane, hit the names
[Verse 2: Big Daddy Kane]
I kick a rap to what you can relax to
A jazz soloist, play away with the sax
To get the job done, next one up to do his duty
Ladies and gentlemen, mister James Moody
[Saxophone Solo: James Moody]
[Verse 3: Big Daddy Kane]
No one goes the mile like Miles Davis
Watch how he plays this trumpet and pump it
Just like a mechanic handles a tool
Here's the rebirth of the cool
[Trumpet Solo: Miles Davis]
[Verse 4: Big Daddy Kane]
What kind of noise can a string bring
Making you swing and sing things of a musical fling
Well listen to this star, next up is our-
Oh, George Benson bringing the guitar
[Guitar Solo: George Benson]
[Verse 5: Big Daddy Kane]
A voice of choice used just like an instrument
So magnificent, I'm proud to present
Divine, Sassy or A.K.A Sarah Vaughan
Honey, you're on
[Scat Solo: Sarah Vaughan]
[Verse 6: Big Daddy Kane]
I'm introducin' a bop revolution
In jazz that has pizazz, he is one player usin' it
Ask who is he, his first name's Dizzy
Last name Gillespie, now watch him get busy
[Trumpet Solo: Dizzy Gillespie]
[Verse 7: Big Daddy Kane]
Allow me to tell a story about Ella
Fitzgerald, who's sound can never be sterile
A woman with flexibility of range
Making octaves change, go 'head do your thing
[Scat Solo: Ella Fitzgerald]
[Verse 8: Big Daddy Kane]
This is a shoutout to one more man
Joe Zawinul, the writer of Birdland
[Organ Solo: Joe Zawinul]
[Verse 9: Kool Moe Dee]
In the fifties, this was the place to be
From the bands down to the maitre'd
Now, who could forget the MC on the set
The emollient voice of Pee Wee Marquette
[Talking: Pee Wee Marquette]
Ladies and gentlemen, as you know we have something special down here at Birdland this evening
[Verse 10: Kool Moe Dee]
A sound so profound it's come back around
52nd Street is now world-renowned
With horn licks with kick, and swift riffs to stick
Today bebop makes the hip hop pick
These musical genius's souls are so clever
They changed the face of music forever
And if you can't understand
Here's a past and present Birdland
This is a fantastic song, and everybody needs to listen to this and appreciate it for the genius that it is.
There isn't enough teaching from generation to generation. It's like people are content to believe that it's cool or okay not to know the musical history or worse shun it even though your favorite rapper and certainly his producer knows and cherishes it.
This is musical gumbo!!!!!!! It doesnt get any better!!! Charlie Parkers rue, with musical seasonings from some of the greatest of all time!!! EAT UP YALL!!!!!
this is one of those songs that stops you in your tracks and then you react! Love the composition, volume, talent and geniune talent!
Gooseskin: THAT`S HOW MUSIC SHOULD SOUND!!!
this was the first album connect jazz/bebop to hip hop a perfect blend of legends/icons while paying homage to our music. Big Daddy Kane and Kool Moe Dee were outstanding MCs for this legendary reflective of greats now gone on to soul heaven. Im glad i was 21 back then. Our generation is so blessed to be acclomated to so much history and culture. We can appreciate the fact the we stand on the shoulders of soilders. RIP to all the great of birdland...
Quincy, is a living legend, Thanks UA-cam. What a wonderful surprise to have this gift of music right here at my fingertips today!
Takes me back to 1989! Feels good to be 6 years old again!!!!!
I remember when this came out it blew me away
This song in particular, got me re-interested in jazz. A great combination of jazz legends brought together by the only man who could pull it off. Q is still da man!!
Such a superb intro. Loved this piece when I worked in New York City in 1978. Brings back great memories!
I loved this song as a kid and never stopped. so great in so many ways.
man this intro is...O-M-G !!!!!last time i heard it it was somethin' like 10 years ago...it's just ....incredible!!!!!!
A feast fit to feed your soul
When the horns come in- WHAM! Powerhouse!
Iam crazy about this masterpiece
A++ to Mr. Jones to his own life's work!!! His music will always stand the test of time,
no matter what!!!
Qj is masters at work
II LOVE THE COMPOSITION OF THIS ME AND MY DAD USED TO LISTEN TO THIS
I've been looking for the entire Birdland song for quite some time, Thank you Utube!!! I love it!!!
YES! I've been looking for this for YEARS!!!! thanks for posting.
Classic, you got 5 legends solo it out and then Seawind and Jerry Hey blast the headphones with they're killer horn arrangement
"PLAY THAT THANG!"
Just marvelous! I LIKE the hip-hop insert! :)
@thedocisin35 This is my favorite Q album...because he got all these jazz icons together to jam!
This is that good shit 🔥
That was great!
Quina versió de Birdland amb introducció...surten tots....acollonant!!!! disfruteu-la....
The composer is Joe Zawinul of Weather Report fame. He is introduced at 2:17.
Great cover.
Ah yes, our culture...
@mcnoodle33 like wise I was about 13yrs old, so you must be around 30-31 I played the hell out of this CD I also liked "doo bop" song smh that was the days.
しかしなー、マイルスがクインシーにこき使われるとはなー。編曲はかっこいいな。絶対、グインシーやってなくて、名義貸し。サビのとこ、感動するなー
Also he nominated a grammy for best instrumental arrangement on back on the block and quincy won album of the year just like he produced mj best selling album thriller
@srl1225 check out weather report they do the whole song I think the made the original bird land
@giorgioricci Maybe not, but the first part of the rap is the legendary Ice T. He is to cool.
Andre Ghouse I'm pretty sure that's kool Moe d
And Big Daddy Kane
It's just Moe Dee and Kane.
Ice T is on a different track on this album though. ❤
@andrew007go hope that's in a good way!!
Ice T is not on this jam.
This is good, but something about having Maynard Ferguson at the top end makes his version better
Needs More Cowbell
I don't like the rap introduction. The best part in this song is the beginning with the powerful horn section.
These guys barely look as if they are moving. Rubbish.
