'BIRD SONG' THE CHARLIE PARKER STORY. PART 2.

PART 2 OF BIRD SONG 'THE CHARLIE PARKER STORY' From BBC Radio 2.

[@allen6924]

The lyrical nature of his understanding of scales and modes. Its astonishing how seamlessly he rolled through any progression

[@paxwallacejazz]

I for one am astonished that "lover man" is so good actually quite coherent in a loose shattered kind of way. Man Parker...

[@jwmc41]

Yes, even in that condition he could still play the tune just about better than anybody else.

I used to listen to the Billy Taylor show in NYC when I was a kid in the 60's.

[@jeanhodgson8623]

Where is Part 1? A KZbin search has avoided finding it.

[@the50sjazzfan]

Thanks.... but it could be while before part 3 is posted.But i'm working on it.

[@alanwann9318]

Lover man seems to float over the chords,my understanding the late entry was deliberately done ,whatever it's a favourite.

[@smockeysmockey1398]

Any chance part one is still available anywhere? Thank you kindly for your time and effort.

[@finosuilleabhain7781]

All four parts are here - you just need to search ('Charlie Parker documentary' will get you there).

[@jeanhodgson8623]

That search does not find it. But the radio guy sounds like a schmuck. I'm out of here.

[@joedown962]

Hello folks, what's the f****** name of the first song please? I just can't remember and 'd like to work on it. Thanks!!
