すばらしい映像ありがとうございます。感動しました、とても・・・。

[@runthomas]

charlie comes in and expresses himself like spring birds, beautiful chorus...the real magic is that ...he is fast, melodical, but you can hear what he is trying to do ..its not a blur ..its clean notes...somehow at such high speed...its most excellent, most high

[@kalzone60]

Talk about call and response. These two masters truly seemed to get that this performance was a passing of the torch. Hawk knew he understood bebop but wasn't the best to convey it. Bird knew who he was borrowing from and you can hear him paying respect. I've not seen this one till now, and can definitely notice this mutual appreciation (even more than the Pops/ Dizzy video.) Can you?

the line at 1:20 is so intricate and sparkly

[@carlbowles1808]

I like the relaxed atmosphere and Charlie parker responses to his side men. Ella's appearance is the cherry on top. Great video thanks guys.

[@girarddunn7903]

From California great performance, excellent solos on both saxophones, the drummer had it going on BIG TIME.

[@neilmedina6096]

I read a story a while back that they were lip-synching this recording. That's why Bird was cutting up and smirking at the beginning of the video. The video producers told him to knock it off.

[@HockeyDudeJames2]

He was probably high.

[@jackdolphy8965]

CP gave a smile of acknowledgement about Hawk’s beautiful playing. Perhaps alluding to that his ‘swing’ style playing was truly beautiful and ‘dated’.

I think that Coleman Hawkins, Budd Johnson and Don Byas were the 3 First Be Bop Tenor Sax Players.

@erikeddergott5514 ...Eddie Davis and Lucky Thompson was around, too! Hawk started in the twenties.

[@erikheddergott5514]

@@brucescott4261 I love Lucky‘s Tricotism Record, but eventhough he is a „Modern“ Saxophone Player, he was not around from 1942 to 1945 in the inner Circle of Be Bop Tenor Saxophon Players.

[@neilmedina6096]

Hawk is bugging big time listening to the greatest jazz sax player ever. And the beautiful thing is he knows it.

[@rovingeye5]

I thought it was the other way around. Bird, with his expressions and eyes seems to be saying " check this cat put, he came before me and is still playing the hippest stuff!"

[@geraldchambersmft2704]

Every now and then, you need to just let this preformance wash over you

[@angelocouncil5827]

What one thoughts on this, is " body n soul by coleman hawkins n birds playing " parkers mood ", how soulness in their playing , ok , "it's thight like that ";

[@aidinaa]

A lot of effort to figure out who wrote this song #Ballade". Not surprisingly, the authors are Coleman Hawkins and Charlie Parker, of course!

[@alanosterman7130]

Different schools of thought here about just how you treat a note. How accessable that note is to the listener. Endearing or contrary ?

[@jeffdwyer1655]

Hawk was the epitome of old school - sweet note choices, silky tone, brilliant melodic sense, easy to listen to, something you could sing or hum. Bird was the foremost exponent of the music he had had a hand in developing, bebop - blindingly fast and intricate technical runs, surprising turns of phrase at full speed, hard for the ear to keep up with at times, but a seamless flow. I don't know how he came up with those phrases, and you sure couldn't sing or hum them, but you could be carried away by them and ride them. And he could also play sweet ballads. No one like him.

[@alanosterman7130]

@@jeffdwyer1655 Super comments. I think it's best not to try and analyze Bird. Just let it wash over you. It's like he crammed two years of his life into one.

[@jeffdwyer1655]

@@alanosterman7130: There is a lot of sense - and poetry - in what you say. He was such a fascinating, ultimately tragic, character that it's hard as a musician not to try to pin down exactly what defined his genus. Cheers!

Trane was the man! He got me really deep into jazz with a song called "Equinox ". Monk, I could never figure out. I just don't get the way he played. His solos just sound so disjointed. Monk made a album with Art Blakey which was all of Monk's compositions. I've tried many times to listen to that album, and I just can't do it...!!

@@mikeymjh. I’m talking about content, bird said a whole lot more musically , and that’s exactly why so many horn players tried to play like him. It’s more than just style it’s about the amount of talent . Sorry if you don’t like my opinion but that’s how I hear it.
