Jeez, given some of the comments for this, and jazz in general, I wonder just what organs some of you guys employ when listening to music. Dissing Charley Parker is like saying Michael Jordan or Ted Williams were just average ball players.

Great talent, and a good example for 'why I'm not a modern jazz fan'.

I want to like it, I really do, but I just can't get into it. I'm rating it a 6 because Charlie Parker does not deserve anything less.

The beginning of this always reminds me of "Going to the Show" with the 'regular guy' on Chicago's WXRT. Not sure if he still does that, I moved away but always enjoyed it.
or maybe it's the Sloan sessions, like I just saw someone mention. Still, I liked the 'regular guy'... :)

Okay, I love the skills, but I'm a very simple person, and this scattering of notes and tones just screws with my brain. Not my favorite - but some very talented musicians making great music. (I like Froot Loops...)
