Great document! Love the amount of focus on classical music. Funny how we think of the early “bebop” era as history, but so did they in the 50s, only 10-15 years on. 10-15 years prior to now was only 2008-2013 ish. Wow!!

KUDOS ❤❤❤ OUT TO CHARLIE PARKER 🎉

"I like Dixieland - I like good Dixieland. It's alright, you know? But i just don't play it because I most likely wouldn't make a good job at it anyway. I just think it should go another way."

Strong defense of Kenton!

Such a great interview. Keen to listen to so much more. And crazy to think Charlie is 33 here, the same age I am now - can't really imagine having gained that much musical experience in such a short time. And he'd be gone from this world just two years later.

Thanks for doing this

Does anyone know the whereabouts of the session Parker mentions at the end with woodwind quintet and rhythm section.

Sabio !! ❤

Rare interview,CP always sounds stoned. Should have more views.

👏 'Promo sm'
