I am listening to this 65 years after first time. It never goes away.

[@garyevans8957]

I heard this for the first time when i was in college during the 1980's. I went out and immediately bought the CD and started playing over and over for days. I played it to anyone who would listen. Sure I drove my neighbors crazy.

[@eytonshalomsandiego]

drove my mom insane with Bird in 1971 when i was introduced to him in 11th grade....worse, i had the super low fidelity wire recorder live stuff....the victrola was in the living thing. poor woman. if only she'd had an open mind and open ears...

Charlie Parker was such a badass! All the players in this session were! Serious virtuosos.

[@jesserussell7242]

I love bebop I could listen to it for ever and never get tired of it especially by one of the greatest ever Charlie Parker he was one of the best in the world. this song is fantastic the way Charlie parker plays the solos really fast especially on Coco is amazing and I love how it is it Gillespie switches from trumpet to piano that was brilliant.

Ambaryerno truly an iconic recording

[@paradiddle16]

I remember listening to this when I started playing drums 30 something years and it was mesmerizing. It still is :) It has an hint of salt peanuts in there especially at the end.

[@qwertyuioplkjhgf1980]

Checking out bird's own version of "Cherokee" in advance would make this tune a lot more easy-listening ~

[@TheDStar4]

That lick Bird hits from 2:42-2:49 just as the song about to end is pure genius. Favorite part of this recording.

Great post of the immortal "Koko." The wipes and peels are nicely done, and I love the throbbing surface movement you've given the photos, corresponding to the electric pulse of the music. Thanks!

[@bronxjar8441]

The speed is amazing enough but every note Bird and Diz played was beautiful and made sense. An Incredible recording. Oh and Dizzy played piano on this recording as well as trumpet because Bud Powell was a no-show.

[@charlesbarry6730]

Wayward genius. Left us way too soon.

Charles McPherson's transcription of this solo for the soundtrack for the movie Bird was good but doesn't quite capture the rips and super quick chord arpeggios bird plays. Absolutely crazy player

[@user-kr3qn7ws1m]

parker9977 i agree he is amazing!

[@brianlee6438]

what about sonny stitt?

[@pbuescher5814]

The difference between Stitt and Parker is very simple... It's the difference between a great musician and a genius...

[@HP_____]

​@@brianlee6438 “It’s just music. It’s trying to play clean and looking for the pretty notes." -Charlie Parker Sonny Stitt perhaps had the speed close to Parker but in terms of playing clean and articulation, no one could touch Bird. Sonny is great to me so don't get wrong. Sonny also had an distinctive tone with a vinegary flavor that's different from other Parker disciples. But, as the other commenter said, Parker was a genius.

[@Marzenl_]

smooothhh !!

[@villinbchillin2373]

diz had to play this Miles wasn’t developed yet

[@francescaemc2]

Sonny stitt blows almost like the bird doing Cherokee, stitt blows very fast, bird knows his horn.

[@SSNewberry]

I believe Dizzy is only on piano.

[@pedrozappa]

+Stirling Newberry Dizzy is on trumpet also because, according to his autobiography, Miles couldn't play this tune at this speed yet.

[@ReverendMak]

There's a lot of dispute about who, exactly, was on piano, and who on trumpet for this recording.

[@roli112233]

Mak Caldari not really over who's on trumpet, its clearly Diz

[@SSNewberry]

Good to know.

[@luckyiamrfj]

textbooks say dizzy was on the trumpet and thornton was on the piano

[@emo4126]

guy who owned a music store played sax . i pick up a beat up old guitar with two strings at a sidewalk sale . bring it to music store to have it repaired a bit . owner/sax player's cat jumps on the counter and claws at the strings . he says " that's my hep cat " .

[@del0581852]

Both bird and miles really terret up on this song.

[@brucescott4261]

del0581852 ...Miles wasn't on this particular tune. That was Diz.
