I only just discovered this but Charlie Parker was born 100 years ago yesterday. One of the greatest soloists in jazz and one of the most tragic.

I have loved his playing since I first discovered it about 20 years ago.

Does anybody else love Bird?

They say single guys have a tough time on here. You should try being a jazz fan.

Oh look. Tumble.

I do love listening to jazz but I have to be honest that I’m don’t know who or what I’m listening too or anything about it as a genre. I just know what I like when I hear it lol

To be fair some years ago I was listening to a recording of the band live that I had not listened to in any ages and I was really getting into it. I was wondering why I had not listened to it regularly. I then remembered the first time I played it I found it unbearable and vowed not to listen to it again.

It was the same with Bitches Brew.

There are more accessible albums that Bitches Brew.

Charlie Parker was an amazing artist, but that generation of jazz musicians were incredible, there is so much from that era that not only stands the test of time but also sets the standard for jazz and also influences so many modern musicians.

Personally as a drummer I’m all Buddy and Gene, but give me a good count Basie number or Sarah Vaughan vocal, some however is so inaccessible it’s impossible to listen to unless you can understand the place it comes from, still, to sit with a whiskey and crack open some vinyls of the greats is still an amazing evening

I had been through a Miles Davis phase and had listened to his cool jazz period and was listening to his "modern" phase.

I freely admit that I know little of the Jazz scene, most the names I know but have herd little.

I saw that Clint Eastwood film Bird with Forrest Whitaker in the role. I was blown away by his brilliance on the sax and saddened by his tragic demon's. Truly a great man.
