As a fellow saxophonist, I have to admit listening to these incredibly talented musicians makes me want to give up music altogether because I know that I'll never ever be able to play as good as these guys. Makes me want to cry because I love music so much.
As long as it gives you pleasure, play music ! To give you an idea, Herbie Hancock once said he was not a genius as Miles Davis, but he would continue making music in his own way.
Isn't it amazing? When you find the right stuff?! It's like these guys, in one song. in ONE or two choruses and refrains, just invent more melody off the tops of their heads, on the spur of the moment, at wicked tempos than you hear in half a dozen songs by Pop or Rock or Hip Hop stars that are exalted and paid millions! This was 3/4 of a century ago! I'm out in the woods, late at night, listening with my eyes closed to this brilliant, spontaneous energy wondering, "Were these guys extraterrestrials or something?" Thanks for your time!
most teens confuse jazz with really slow elevator music, or smooth jazz stuff with kenny G. but jazz covers alot of genres, if they listen to any latin jazz, fusion, bebop, swing etc, funk jazz its pretty awesome. many genres owe homage to jazz as if the havent drawn directly from jazz, they were influenced by it.
*Deep Purple* wrote their hard rock songs jamming on jazz tunes. *The Doors* were almost a jazz band, always quoting jazz songs and having a jazz attitude but without using jazz chords progressions or licks or instrumentation (older keyboardist in love with jazz and symphonic + flamenco / latin jazz inspired acoustic guitarist playing the electric for the 1st time in his life + jazzy drummer + a poet / cinema student / crooner = unique band).
Jazz won't die out. It can't. Something as pure and felt as Jazz can never die out. Someone, somewhere, will play it to a kid that thinks he likes Madonna or Lil' Wayne and he'll recognize the passion in Jazz, and he'll be home. He'll have found what he'd been looking for. It's what's happened to me.
When I was a dumbass 15 yr old (circa 1995) I figured jazz probably was cool so I looked for some jazz albums in bargain bins and early on was blessed to find a Charlie Parker album with this recording. I'd sell my soul to be in the room when this was made.
+moe761 You should look up "Joe Dollard Jazz" and it's the one that isn't "Caravan" or something like that. He's my best friend's dad, my private lesson teacher's wife, and my Jazz instructor. He LOVES jazz and Charlie Parker. Lol I had no point to this.
+chriztafa In case you weren't aware, you slurring fuck, jazz was invented in New Orleans with roots tied in ragtime, blues, soul, and African slave songs.
Excellent... Charlie Parker brought me here. Omnibook practice and keeping Bebop alive for my people in the most authentic way possible brought me here.... Wow that Piano intro is beautiful
Right you are Ralph. At age 15-and 16 I couldn't fathom Jazz after 1942. After taking a few lessons in 7th chords and modal scales I understood Bird, A few years more and I worked up the nerve to play it. Now at age 62, I'm starting to visit Chick Corea, Pat Metheny, Vic Juris and others. Should I have done this long ago. Maybe, but other things go on in peoples' lives to distract and delay. The important thing is that the lifelong learning process never stops as long as we remain..alive.
Unless you people are paying real attention, Charlie doesn't start until 5:10- His phrasing and approach to swing just changed the entire world of Jazz there. All the solos before him although wonderful, were in teh 30-40's sounds. Charlie just ROCKED the jazz world with the NEW smooth on the backbeat, phrasing of modern jazz. The jazz world has literally never been the same since. Charlie set the NEW STANDARD in how to play modern jazz swing! LISTEN TO IT!!!
He sure could blow! Playen the heck out of that lovely instument. RIP Charlie Parker, no other like you, God blessed you with a truly wonderful gift that just keeps on Giving! Thank You, T.
if you listen carefully charlie parker plays the previous soloist's ( tenor ) back to him but deliberately putting spaces between phrases. that's how good he was. listen to first 32 bars of the previous tenor then check out what charlie does with it - incredible. he plays the guys phrase then tags on an answer of his own , and likewise throughout his solo. shame it hasn't got all of it on . i wonder if charlie p. was making a comment on the busy nature of the tenor's playing . i believe charlie parkers hero lester young was on the same stage as was coleman hawkins and flip phillips. is this charlie parker defending his hero by burning off his rivals in an uncompromising manner - making a statement about lyrical content and melodic structure over fierce relentless soloing ? ( not ignoring coleman hawkins second-to-none 'body and soul' )
August 29: Happy birthday Jazz / Bebop saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker (1920-1955) Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, Kanaal van ame3788. RIP Innovator. Blessings
I'm a rhythm guitarist. The comping here is incredible. It isn't covering the band. It isn't to quiet that no one can follow the 2 and 4 emphasis. It is covering harmony and rhythm perfectly. These solos are impeccable too!
From the start, Norman Granz didn't cut corners when it came to hiring competant recording engineers and state-of-the-art high-high fidelity recording equipment when making live recordings of this concert. Hard to believe this was recorded in 1946!
I don't believe there are enough adjectives in the human vocabulary that could accurately describe the genius of Charlie Parker's playing. It's easier to just sit back and relax, listen and enjoy it.
If you "wanted to be cool" you would type this comment on Rihanna/Drake and all of nowaday's shit 's video. This is music for good ears, be proud of it :)
María Alejandra Iriza, I agree with you, but talking about other topic, I have to admit your profile picture let watch your beauty- amazing, like this song.
This is off Jazz at the Philharmonic vol. 14 from 1946. Clef Records 10 inch release. You can hear the whole cut elsewhere here on You Tube. Thank God there is a pretty solid record of Parker's genius for people to experience. One of the greatest musicians ever.
@@norai.5826 Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic* - Norman Granz' Jazz At The Philharmonic New Volume 4 (Formerly Vols. 6 And 14) More images. Genre:Jazz: Style:Bop, Swing: Year:1955: Tracklist. JATP Blues: Slow Drag: I Got Rhythm: I Surrender Dear ... Clef Records - MG VOL. 4: US: 1955: US Vol 14 was a 10 inch 33 1/3 release from 1951.
I saw Charlie Parker at Birdland in NYC back in the 1940s. Charlie actually passed by out table with some comments for us. We were there after doing a gig.
This is a Jazz at the Philharmonic 1946 session. Bird's solo is cut off at the end of the post! The first alto solo is by Willie Smith,a swing player who was featured with the Jimmie Lunceford orchestra in the 30's. Anyone who knows jazz can tell that Smith's solo is a typical swing solo. By the time Bird comes in,the difference is striking. Parker wasn't as well known to everyone at the time of this recording. Not to mention he had to come in just before Lester Young soloed!
I'll be honest I'm only here to research different types of music because of PRINCE 💜🖤 he's such a genius and I miss him so much . has me looking at music and different genres alot now..I knew of Charlie Parker and just now decided to look him up and listen ..
Hardly the best Jazz ever or even the best Charlie Parker. His solo was the last one and was cut in the middle, oddly enough. For listeners new to Bird - there far more greater recordings of him that this one. " Bird with strings" for one, to start with.
The Dial Sessions are another must-listen. I'm also quite partial to Jam Session -- arguably more restrained from Parker but tasty nonetheless, and the other band members are legendary, including Peterson, Webster and Kessel.
You are so right !!!!! - One must listen to the great Dial recordings, with all there various takes, to better understand the genius of BIRD. But on this recording here I must admit: I LOVE Coleman Hawkins!
Honestly, what reason do you have to dislike this... it's a classic, something everyone that loves jazz loves, and oldie but a goodie. Seriously, the only reason you would dislike this is if you didn't like jazz, and if so, why are you here?
I got hooked on this era of jazz when they did a doc on this subject on PBS Ken Burn series on jazz. Cool sheet and I'm a funkateer! My first taste of jazz was with my cousin Marshall Allen and it was George Benson. Oh! The old movies made around WWll featured jazz/swing music of that day! Go wiggle!
While you wait for Parker to play there is not need to get bored. The one playing before him are Willie Smith alto, Buck Clayton trumpet and Coleman Hawkins tenor.
Teens can listen to jazz guys... I do believe it takes guidance, but it can happen. My director has me listening for the fourth year now, and I love it. Im 17. As for being enjoyed, anyone can enjoy jazz. Its purely timeless!
NO ONE before or after had the influence of this MAN on this MUSIC.he dumbfounded (to be struck speechless) his compatriots.THE BEST OF THEIR ERA.his BEST was only live.the man had a fear of microphones.good bad indifferent.herion addict...yes. GENIUS beyond a doubt. hate away small mind.
I just read a Julio Cortazar's book titled "El Perseguidor" (The Persecutor) that narrate fateful and somber days of live of that prodigious and talented musician, and awake my interest to find more about his legacy :)
5:10 Charlie Parker, who is *cut off* after only 44 seconds in a video titled _Charlie Parker (Best jazz ever)_ - Five minutes waiting for Bird, fortunately we had Willie Smith. 15k can be wrong.
April 22, 1946 - Embassy Auditorium, Los Angeles CA Commercial for Mercury Jazz at the Philharmonic Charlie Parker (as); Buck Clayton (tpt); Willie Smith (as); Coleman Hawkins (ts); Lester Young (ts); Ken Kersey (p); Irving Ashby (g); Billy Hadnott (b); Buddy Rich (d); Norman Granz (ann) 1 I Got Rhythm (G. Gershwin-I. Gershwin) 12:52
First alto sax solo by Willie Smith, the tenor one by Coleman Hawkins, the second altoist (5:10) actually is Charlie Parker, but of all musicians in a video titled "CHARLIE PARKER - Best jazz ever" it's his solo that's CUT OFF. ROFLMAO!
Considering Jazz redefined music and it's influences can still be seen today, I think you were right the first time. Your 386 year old jizz is, indeed, a thing of the past
Well, I'm glad someone noticed that. I listened to this and thought that someone had mistakenly thought that this was Bird...so I see it's almost at the end and no hint of Bird ..as I'm about to shut it off..There he is..then it just ends before he really starts to play. Kind of a tease.
Does anyone else listen to an awesome musician and daydream about if you could play like them and you blow all of your friends away? I know this is really specific but it honestly happens to me all the time.
Douglas Smith He is probably the greatest innovator in jazz history. Charlie Parker created a whole new musical language that has inspired countless generations of musicians since his unfortunate passing
+Douglas Smith Follow the historical context (listen to him and others over time, swing to bop periods at least) and you'll see that rhythmically and harmonically he created what became "normal."
Awesome, i was just looking for some jazz and all i got was the slow kind, do not misunderstand me, i like slow jazz too not just not in the mood right now. And this is an amazing performance.

Toda una leyenda del jazz,tocando su saxofón aprendió de los mejores,Buster Smith y Lester Young,la improvisación y su "particular" y única manera de tocar el saxo alto contribuyeron a dar otro enfoque al método hasta llegar al llamado "bebop" con Dizzy Gillespie,quizás uno de los grandes referentes de la música que quedó demasiado pronto truncada,murió con sólo 34 años,una enorme pérdida para el mundo del jazz.
Jazz has never been mainstream anyway. It is here now and always will be. It is just that it is art and the average person needs to be spoon fed their art. Whatever is on the radio is what people listen too. Just a sad fact. Jazz will never die because it doesnt rely on ratings or radio play. Never has and never will. People will always seek out this music because it is "real".
They hadn't figured out how to record the drums well in 1946 yet. 1947 just a year later they improved. By the 50s they had perfected that, I love the sound of early to mid 50s jazz recordings especially, and I think that's when jazz reached its peak, between 1948-1965
Good God! This track is being presented here as being by Charlie Parker --- and he doesn't get to play until the end - and then his solo is cut off in the middle. This is a travesty and should be done again Kanaal.
Parker? Sounds more like Coleman Hawkins. Parker floats, Hawkins pushes. With that buzz on the trumpet, I'm thinking Roy Eldridge. My mistake, there's Parker, last solo. This seems to be an edit, if I remember right, Lester Young wraps it up on the unedited version.
I heard some dubstep..flamenco the other day... I was surprised.. nobody should categorize , coz that s the evil of this world... music has no limits, they are just in our mind inchala mon frere

Jazz will always be an intellectual music, a sound for ears that can fly and dream... so don't care about that, it is a privilege to be part of it!!
it's actually good to hear that some young people still listen to this music.

You got that right ! I love listening to talented musicians. Sadly, I have no musical talent at all. I even have trouble playing the radio !
It's fantastic, but you have to have rested ears to enjoy it. The timbre is almost like distorted guitar. 40% tone, 60% texture noise.

Bird was an atheist. God didn't bless him with anything. He practiced 12 hours + a day.

alek peed
Yes He did. Bird just didn't acknowledge it (assuming you're correct about him being an atheist. Never heard that before).

First alto sax solo by Willie Smith, the tenor one by Coleman Hawkins, the second altoist (5:10) actually is Charlie Parker, but of all musicians in a video titled "CHARLIE PARKER - Best jazz ever" it's his solo that's CUT OFF. ROFLMAO!
...and when he does, it's superb!
Omg my inspiration to keep trying in music
R.I.P Charlie😢
Great music I luv jzz,it carry the history of the great migration and beyond
all v sad - a jazz genius without doubt - probably the greatest ever. What might he have achieved in another 30 years or so if he had lived ?
What chu mean?He was like 225 in dog years
Im 14 and i have avidly listened to jazz for the last 2 years
This is so GOOD!
Considering Jazz redefined music and it's influences can still be seen today, I think you were right the first time. Your 386 year old jizz is, indeed, a thing of the past
Charlie, minha paixão💜🖤
of course i know, my great grandfather used to be one of them,, and i salute them for making a great musics
My First ego who came to earth told my current to love this song
The first soloist (alto sax) is Willie Smith and then Hawkins, then Bird
bird doesn't start until 5:10
Yer right, and what a difference in sound, phrasing and musical orientation - this cat was doing something altogether different
Well, I'm glad someone noticed that. I listened to this and thought that someone had mistakenly thought that this was Bird...so I see it's almost at the end and no hint of Bird ..as I'm about to shut it off..There he is..then it just ends before he really starts to play. Kind of a tease.
Yup. Definitely easy to catch when bird is playing
Like this, it needs to b top comment.
Better call this a Coleman Hawkins-video
You can hear all this great stuff at the historic bar and jazz club ZINC BAR in NYC! Listening now.
legends will never die
Does anyone else listen to an awesome musician and daydream about if you could play like them and you blow all of your friends away? I know this is really specific but it honestly happens to me all the time.
I like how suddenly all the old Charlie Parker vids erupted with Whiplash fanatics
Douglas Smith two completely different eras there though
why do you need it explained? either you like it or you dont
Douglas Smith Because he practiced a lot
Douglas Smith He is probably the greatest innovator in jazz history. Charlie Parker created a whole new musical language that has inspired countless generations of musicians since his unfortunate passing
+Douglas Smith Follow the historical context (listen to him and others over time, swing to bop periods at least) and you'll see that rhythmically and harmonically he created what became "normal."
Awesome, i was just looking for some jazz and all i got was the slow kind, do not misunderstand me, i like slow jazz too not just not in the mood right now. And this is an amazing performance.
Anyone know who the first couple of horn players are on this?? They're killing
This is so wonderful, regardless of my age
Charlie Parker - I've got rhythm... enjoy. 1946.
Namastê George _ Good Morning _ One Remember My Father And I Would Sit In The Den AndListen To Bird .....Its interesting because One Would Always Say _ They Are All One _ But Playing With A Different Feelin's ..... Deep Meaning _ This Was Before 5 years Of Age ........ A Lot Was Going On _ Just Like Now _ Have A Great Day _ SHALOM ........Thank You ..
Iceman Westside Thank you Iceman, Bird was man during his short life, Shalom !

Toda una leyenda del jazz,tocando su saxofón aprendió de los mejores,Buster Smith y Lester Young,la improvisación y su "particular" y única manera de tocar el saxo alto contribuyeron a dar otro enfoque al método hasta llegar al llamado "bebop" con Dizzy Gillespie,quizás uno de los grandes referentes de la música que quedó demasiado pronto truncada,murió con sólo 34 años,una enorme pérdida para el mundo del jazz.
Damn Charlie was jamming and it just cut off. Best sax player in history bar none.
Amazing breathtaking
Супер ствар! Човекот е Цар! Поздрав од Македонија!
Jazz has never been mainstream anyway. It is here now and always will be. It is just that it is art and the average person needs to be spoon fed their art. Whatever is on the radio is what people listen too. Just a sad fact. Jazz will never die because it doesnt rely on ratings or radio play. Never has and never will. People will always seek out this music because it is "real".
I got the chills at 1:20
They hadn't figured out how to record the drums well in 1946 yet. 1947 just a year later they improved. By the 50s they had perfected that, I love the sound of early to mid 50s jazz recordings especially, and I think that's when jazz reached its peak, between 1948-1965
Good God!
This track is being presented here as being by Charlie Parker --- and he doesn't get to play until the end - and then his solo is cut off in the middle.
This is a travesty and should be done again Kanaal.
If Charlie auditioned for the X Factor today, the judges would probably vote him out. Sign of these crappy times for music.
Parker? Sounds more like Coleman Hawkins. Parker floats, Hawkins pushes. With that buzz on the trumpet, I'm thinking Roy Eldridge. My mistake, there's Parker, last solo. This seems to be an edit, if I remember right, Lester Young wraps it up on the unedited version.
I heard some dubstep..flamenco the other day... I was surprised.. nobody should categorize , coz that s the evil of this world... music has no limits, they are just in our mind
inchala mon frere
whiplash brought me here ...
Same here. Parker definitely had the right 'tempo' :D
both this song and the movie are undoubtedly masterpieces
Me too.
same here
Me too ..
may i just say this is amazing
