I named my son Parker Davis after his collaborations with miles.
I named a daughter of mine after a Coltrane composition so I feel you.

You have great storytelling ability. You set a mood and frame the scene with an ephemeral soundtrack that punctuates the narrative. Excellent execution. Keep up the good work.
Your comment made my day! Thank You so much😄
Living in NYC, I get to talk with people who REALLY knew Parker(not all musicians Btw)..Such person is Lou Donaldson. He said to me once that the whole thing with his drug abuse is too publicised comparing to his many gifts. These gifts were beyond music. He had a vast knowledge in history, political science and anthropology(rings a bell anyone?).
Bird Lives.
Most true geniuses are self destructive. He actually kicked heroin several times but always went back
Tragic stories told and narrated well.
Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
The movie Bird directed by Clint Eastwood in 88 was how i got into Charlie, great talent
I remember my father use listen to all these great jazz players. Every Sunday and Saturday that’s all I heard, lol
You're a very lucky person! Cheers to your dad 🍻🍻
Drugs are almost ALWAYS a problem of the heart...... NOT the heart of the problem. We are Addicts to love and without it we try to fill the void.... or silence the screaming of our soul with them. Lets all overdose on love instead
bird is to jazz as einstein is to physics.
Your channel is just absolutely awesome, thank you for your work, every video deserves a 👍
Thank you so much 😀
The king of the alto saxophone.
I just subbed, liked, and commented, and on the last video I watched on Bud Powell. Thanks for these, I love the history of jazz as much if not more than the music!
thanks
Great documentary!💖Thank you so much!😻💟☮️☯️
Birdland will forever live on in his name. Legends never die!
Mate, you gotta get into reading audiobooks...
Yes, he his a very good story teller.
nice bio
He’s the Picasso of Jazz.
.
There’s a picture in there with Bird, Diz, and Miles. It looks like AI pasted a later photo of Miles onto it. It looks like Miles from the late 1950s. Not to mention the Harmon mute in his bell.
Got the photo from a jazz blog, the original doesn't look like it was AI
@@onetrackjazz Well somebody definitely modified the pic though.
The photo at 2:57, Parker & Gilespie, is a fake, too.
That photo is available online
the real photo has a young John Coltrane in the position where Miles is in this fake photo. Also, Coltrane was never in Parker's band in 1950 or at any other time. Bird didn't generally hire other saxophone players anyway, except for maybe Lucky Thompson.
Cool.
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
@@onetrackjazz No Problem
i can't imagine his greatness. as a teen i must have spent most of my waking and insomniac hours attempting to learn his comps and improvs on my alto and bari. Cheers

Great video!
Thanks!
For years a favorite tune of mine was waltz for a lovely wife, written by Phil woods as a tribute to Parker's wife, who Phil married after Parker's death.
Saw Phil Woods live. He was great on Alto sax too.😎
