> why did they take it at such a slow tempo?
What else do you expect from a guy who’s 81 years old?
LIVE recording …sounds like the ROYAL ROOST PERFORMANCES from 1949 with KENNY DURHAM on trumpet !!!!!!!!!!!!
He’s definitely not your average junkie
I disagree lol I think its in B…Bird was known for calling tunes in ungodly keys lol
its in Bb
bebop rules
hahaha, thats funny cuz at first, i thought you were serious, and i was like WHAT WERE YOU LISTENING TO?!lol
did they really play this in B instead of Bb? or is it the recording quality…?
they took it at 300!!! my metronome does not even go that high!
Dollar admission, how could you go wrong?
Damn fast
Parker is God!
why did they take it at such a slow tempo?
i know……sorry! i wasnt thinking! haha
i dont know abuot “better” or anything, theres lotsa different aspects. but the one person i like listening to more than bird is hank mobley, even if he may not be “better”
I think it’s hard to compare the two because they play different instruments
@musicmanson lol yeahh XD
It would’ve been funnier if you would’ve said Incredible Hulk.
it was a joke……..sry…..haha…
@camjolewas1…
art tatum?… i may have to agree
The coolest head of all time.
In my opinion there’s only one musician living or dead who was better than Parker, and that was Art Tatum.
lol Damn…
Superman is from the planet Krypton…
Best threat ever!
