Charlie Parker-Just friends

[@jefolson6989]

Bird plays many notes- not a single one can be removed or added. THIS IS PERFECTION! The undeniable PROOF of Parkers genius, REAL genius among the greatest of artists (Mozart, Michelangelo). His weak mortal vessel was overwhelmed by the responsibility of delivering that gift. I am grateful he endured such pain and lasted until he got his business done and said what had to be said. Bird LIVES!

@handsome-brute i know Frank Miller played on this album. Looks like a pick up orchestra. Probably New York. I knew him Frank in the 80e Principal cello for Chicago Symphony and was Toacaninis favorite in the NBC orchestra.

[@isaacezekiel]

My grandfather used to play this often. Loved it as a child love it today reminds me of him.

[@stephenrobertson4554]

Incredible!

[@stephenrobertson4554]

Bird...what more can be said?

[@carlosmanuelgomez6961]

Beautiful perfhormance this inmortal melody, CHARLIE PARKER FOR EVERT IN MY MEMORY❤

[@ronhaynes6465]

Reportedly one of his few recordings he actually liked, Bird flies like a firebird through this standard & makes it a thing of rare beauty. A magnificent & timeless gift. Bird lives!

[@boomerang905]

Its true he did say this was his favorite.

Mitch Miller was an Oboist. That's him cutting in beautifully. To me these are all-stars.

One of the most BEAUTIFULL SONGS I EVER EAR...👾🛸Charlie in memory FOREVER👾🛸

[@kellykellybumbum]

It was a pleasure to learn of his music in college music class, Bird lives 💙

[@theshowmanuk]

What a master ! Timeless.

[@abrahampalmer8761]

Extremely mind-blowing and sublime

[@jefolson6989]

I'm so old that I actually met Birds MOTHER in Kansas City. ( she was a nurse) She survived him by about 30 years.

[@josephbarclayross6216]

Beyond beyond. The Bird soars! And no one else can play like this, no one.

[@MarciaMariano-f9s]

This rendition is awsome❤❤❤❤

[@hecateswolf6007]

I so love this piece of music

[@floraline7153]

This is absolute mastery of an instrument and a gorgeous and glorious arrangement to go with it.

[@mikecryea]

I had forgotten about this song, makes me feel so full now that i found it again since probably last i heard it i was 5 years younger maybe even more.

[@PepperWilliams_songcovers]

I so hate all these wannabe You Tubers who play Alto sax (not the be boppers), those that receive million of views and can barely play the melody (along with their fingers flying off the keys). Here is Charlie Parker, the BACH of be bop on the alto sax. He was THE INNOVATOR, the king, the one that inspired thousands upon thousands of other great saxophonists (John Coltrane, Cannonball Adderley, Vincent Herring, Lou Donaldson, Sonny Stitt, Phil Woods, Kenny Garrett,...........on and on and on! The album Charlie Parker with strings is a TRUE MASTERPIECE, in every sense of the word! He deserves billions of views!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@boomerang905]

On a small biography of Mr. Parker, he stated that he was proudest of this number. I think it's my favorite though with Mr. Parker l loved EVERYTHING he did do much. 💝💝💝💝

[@Bob-s9z7r]

The master

[@Benjiroyoface]

Wow this version is mixed so well

[@natemiller3125]

Amazing. I bet those strings got a kick playing this

[@krusty4651]

For sure. I'd be in seventh heaven playing with such schmaltz

[@markcollins1497]

Maybe you meant it without the preposition? So basically you’re speaking of the string arrangement, not the actual band playing jazz? Maybe you mean both?

[@pvelectric]

Bird's favorite recording of himself playing. -sources, numerous.

[@louismcelwee7459]

In the late80sI asked Mitch Miller how Parker was to work with at the recording sessions and he said he was a joy to work with.

[@Lightningslick]

Funny: Mitch did not particularly care for jazz.

[@luisacosta1004]

Que delicia, qué hermosura no se puede describir en palabras admirarlo es poco. Esto es el buen Jazz

[@lorenzopetrocca]

I presume the Mitch Miller on this cut is the same Mitch Miller who later had his own TV show named "Sing Along with Mitch"?

[@elkealbrich5380]

[@fatsnavarro2874]

His attempt to reach a wider audience. Through popular tunes of the time.

[@calebplumley6184]

2nd best track. Dear lord by John Coltrane is number 1. This one is crying. Dear lord is crying about crying

[@josephbarclayross6216]

Sorry, but Coltrane couldn't touch the Bird, one of the two greatest instrumentalists of the twentieth century, the other being Jimi Hendrix..
