Bird is having a bad time here.

Yes, I did hesitate to transcribe this solo. I felt bad when I heard it, thinking about how Bird was feeling physically. But the crazy thing is, the next solo he takes on the same gig, over "Out of Nowhere," sounds so brilliant. It's crazy. You would think it's not the same night at all. So, just for that, to see how he can bounce back from one piece to another, is just mind-blowing.
