I was between 18 and 20, about 1958 and 1960 when I first heard this...it still blows me away.

Bird was truly magical... opening phrase of " April in Paris " is beautiful....

Two weeks ago in New York City. The first day of the 3 day festival the city park performed Charlie Parker classic Charile Parker with strings live. It was a great concert. The Charlie Parker Jazz festival 2012 is every August at two location Marcus Gravey park and topkin park in the east villiage. It is worth your time to go there.

One says that Charlie Parker loved to play with strings and this wonderful recording shows it perfect.

[Midshipman_Vlores]

No comments about the beautiful piano solo at 1:45? Freeman does a great job of adding some lyrical harmony

[PeterElfant]

Bird could blow, no doubt about it and the fact that he was such a strong player with such a virile tone renders the strings complimentery rather than intrusive. It's sad that this music will never regain it's once high status, but like impressionist painting, or symphonic music of the 19th century once it happens there seem to be no repeats.

2:30 one of the most striking lines to come out of his horn.

[stevehaluska]

His tone. His astounding musical imagination.

Thank you so much for this gorgeous posting. Bird touched all of us. Thank God for real jazz, the champagne of music. The gold among the dross. This is so heavenly and feels like the Paris I knew.

My favorite song, I just Love this tune, Bird with strings.

[dennisburns]

Yes, my God ...we need a Jazz Revival...wouldn´t that be great...Get music back in the middle and high schools and get the kids swingin again like the 30´s, 40´s and 50´s..
As for The Bird, he sounds great...and am sorry that I wasn´t able to see him..
and as for the like Chet Baker... and I love listening to them both.

A giant, it's amazing how it adapts to an unusual orchestral background (for his usual style) while being himself.
Un gigante, es increíble la manera en que se adapta a un fondo orquestal no habitual (para su estilo habitual) sin dejar de ser él mismo

[ColinHarperSummerson]
