The Great Master delivers another brilliant performance. Bird never ceases to amaze me. He towers above all other sax players. Beautiful , absolutely beautiful.
My first exposure to Bird was 41 years ago on an LP called "The Genius of Charlie Parker, Vol. 3" It contained a couple of takes of "Chi Chi" and "Now's The Time." I was hooked for life.
I try whistling along as close as possible to his solos but Parker always throws me off with his subtle sinuous melodic bendings, trail-offs and impossibly possible articulation.
