It’s 2 am and I’m watching a classical flutist playing bebop on a recorder with a string quartet... Time to go to sleep.

[Musibro]

This is the strangest jazz i've ever seen, but im down

[joemurphy]

So this is what my fourth grade teacher wanted me to sound like

[metiscus]

This was amazing. I'm so happy that the whole Two Set roast happened or I never would have found you. What a treasure!

[kimft]

Shouldn't we all just be happy that Bird's music lives on among talented young musicians?

[KevinElamMusic]

as a jazz musician, this is killin! I've always said early music people understand the spirit of jazz. personally i love both. Go, Lucie!

[jimrogers]

For a moment this seems like a novelty but almost immediately it becomes clear that this is no joke - they're swinging. Bravo!

[MDPotatohead]

this is like if charlie parker worked for nintendo

[gatozarin]

the recorder and violin together create such a nice texture!!

[elebirdz]

Amazed that I can still find the recorder surprising after being hooked for weeks now. Love the jazz!

[garycontner]

Let’s get her to Lincoln Center to gig with Wynton and the guys. This sound is COOL !! Gary

[sykness-]

Modified string quartet plus superstar recorder = jazz band?? Love it!

[odysseuslaertiades]

That proves that you can play jazz on any instrument provided you are feeling the groove.

[Jvljvljvl]

Impressive 😲 This goes out to all the parents that sit through recorder performances in elementary. There is hope.

[mambojazz]

I was disappointed she played Parker's solo on recorder instead of her own. But I don't care! This is killin!!

[josephkarl]

For all those grumbling about her not playing jazz - most of the time she's playing music by Bach, Vivaldi, Brahms et al. These are musicians people put on a plinth and idolize.

If Bird is on that plinth with all those other cats, that's the way it should be. 🤘

[roses]

Simply lovely and masterful. A joy to listen to and wonderful homage to a fine jazz icon. Thank you.

[mandelharvey]

The violin family working together to uplift the wind spirit inspires me.

[HarmonicaVaudeville]

So much fun to watch you play together and having fun!
Thanks!🤜🤛

I think Charlie would be so happy that his talent and creations continue to inspire musicians and be enjoyed by spectators all over the world, still, 75 years after his death❤️
