kingart Aug 01, 2012 - 14:21 | 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. |
Toke Apr 28, 2012 - 12:33 | WOW just tuned in and Bloomdido.... Nice one RP where else would ya get it. |

I believe this recording features Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, and Buddy Rich, but it's obviously not for everyone. Yes its called improv bro.Geez |

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.

pomalley Aug 19, 2011 - 07:45 | 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'... :) |
