Charlie Parker Interview | Boston Radio 1953

[@noahpettibon]

Great document! Love the amount of focus on classical music. Funny how we think of the early “bebop” era as history, but so did they in the 50s, only 10-15 years on. 10-15 years prior to now was only 2008-2013 ish. Wow!!

[@somdomm]

and its crazy because our music has also changed so much in our era from 2013- 2024

[@BuddyBoo123]

I hear wisdom and dignity. Great to hear the master speak. Great insight. This is a gem.

[@ninetydays1]

A veritable treasure. Thanks to those who made this video available to so many.

[@freetidjane]

He is so positive with the other musicians! ❤

[@camtaylormusic]

Such a great interview. Keen to listen to so much more. And crazy to think Charlie is 33 here, the same age I am now - can't really imagine having gained that much musical experience in such a short time. And he'd be gone from this world just two years later.

Short time? Not if you know how to practice

[@camtaylormusic]

@@Zxx459 I feel like I've learned quite a lot as a musician and teacher these past 26 years or so, but not a fraction of what Charlie knew.

Fantastic interview. The master speaks !

[@sheskimusic]

❤ This is a wonderful interview. Very telling

[@rhythmfield]

Cringeworthy questions - and yet, I salute the interviewer for having the courage to do a deep dive (and break through racial barrier) with one of the most brilliant musicians of the 20th Century - indeed, of any century.

"I like Dixieland - I like good Dixieland. It's alright, you know? But i just don't play it because I most likely wouldn't make a good job at it anyway. I just think it should go another way."

In the Clint Eastwood movie, ' Bird ; Eastwood Has Charlie Parker being portrayed as a bafoon. He never showed mr. Parker's genius.

[@johannhauffman323]

Strong defense of Kenton!

Sabio !! ❤

[@geofpawlicki2984]

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the session Parker mentions at the end with woodwind quintet and rhythm section.

[@ScottlandShaffner0423]

I'm almost sure he's referring to the Dave Lambert Singers session he did that year. Look up Parker 'In The Still Of The Night'...

[@bilbobaggins4403]

Wonder what Kenny G thinks of Bird?

[@christinecornec1470]

Rare interview,CP always sounds stoned. Should have more views.

[@petergordon3346]

HOW DOES HE SOUND STONED? DID YOU EVEN, KNOW THE MAN OR DID YOU JUST READ ABOUT THE LEGEND OF THE MAN?

[@monsterjazzlicks]

Why are all of the music examples cut out???!!! 😡

[@Zxx459]

Dont forget. That in parkers tome segregation, racism was at it is peack..meaning MO OPPORTUNITIES FOR COLORED PEOPLE..

[@wehaveasituation]
