As a fellow saxophonist, I have to admit listening to these incredibly talented musicians makes me want to give up music altogether because I know that I'll never ever be able to play as good as these guys. Makes me want to cry because I love music so much.

most teens confuse jazz with really slow elevator music, or smooth jazz stuff with kenny G. but jazz covers alot of genres, if they listen to any latin jazz, fusion, bebop, swing etc, funk jazz its pretty awesome. many genres owe homage to jazz as if the havent drawn directly from jazz, they were influenced by it.

*Deep Purple* wrote their hard rock songs jamming on jazz tunes. *The Doors* were almost a jazz band, always quoting jazz songs and having a jazz attitude but without using jazz chords progressions or licks or instrumentation (older keyboardist in love with jazz and symphonic + flamenco / latin jazz inspired acoustic guitarist playing the electric for the 1st time in his life + jazzy drummer + a poet / cinema student / crooner = unique band).

This was 3/4 of a century ago! I'm out in the woods, late at night, listening with my eyes closed to this brilliant, spontaneous energy wondering, "Were these guys extraterrestrials or something?"

Right you are Ralph. At age 15-and 16 I couldn't fathom Jazz after 1942. After taking a few lessons in 7th chords and modal scales I understood Bird, A few years more and I worked up the nerve to play it. Now at age 62, I'm starting to visit Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Vic Juris and others. Should I have done this long ago. Maybe, but other things go on in peoples' lives to distract and delay. The important thing is that the lifelong learning process never stops as long as we remain..alive.

[@JohnSmith-cm3ky]

if you listen carefully charlie parker plays the previous soloist's ( tenor ) back to him but deliberately putting spaces between phrases. that's how good he was. listen to first 32 bars of the previous tenor then check out what charlie does with it - incredible. he plays the guys phrase then tags on an answer of his own , and likewise throughout his solo. shame it hasn't got all of it on . i wonder if charlie p. was making a comment on the busy nature of the tenor's playing . i believe charlie parkers hero lester young was on the same stage as was coleman hawkins and flip phillips. is this charlie parker defending his hero by burning off his rivals in an uncompromising manner - making a statement about lyrical content and melodic structure over fierce relentless soloing ? ( not ignoring coleman hawkins second-to-none 'body and soul' )

[@cldavis33]

Unless you people are paying real attention, Charlie doesn't start until 5:10- His phrasing and approach to swing just changed the entire world of Jazz there. All the solos before him although wonderful, were in teh 30-40's sounds. Charlie just ROCKED the jazz world with the NEW smooth on the backbeat, phrasing of modern jazz. The jazz world has literally never been the same since. Charlie set the NEW STANDARD in how to play modern jazz swing! LISTEN TO IT!!!

Was wondering about this cuz the first sax solo is not Parker. Even Parker’s solo is pretty subdued for him (and cut off as well).

This is a Jazz at the Philharmonic 1946 session. Bird's solo is cut off at the end of the post! The first alto solo is by Willie Smith,a swing player who was featured with the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra in the 30's. Anyone who knows jazz can tell that Smith's solo is a typical swing solo. By the time Bird comes in,the difference is striking. Parker wasn't as well known to everyone at the time of this recording. Not to mention he had to come in just before Lester Young soloed!
