I sing this song hoping you'll all find out The man who wrote the yardbird suite Leave you no doubt tell you about Charles Yardbird Parker was his name The facts He carved his name in history A sax for his axe His improvisation was miraculous Mastermind of rhythm was he He blew notes that nobody had ever blown before Till then, Blew ‘em as they’d never been. So often true as genius seems to do He's suffered his life through but gave us the Yardbird suite All because he never stopped blowing When he had the miserable woes he seem to pour out his heart and make each person listening feel they never know what being low down could be He knew that blowing happy music going to set him free He blew and blew and blew until he had to change his hatta sound he had that long before we heard when he was just a boy in Kansas city So pretty After he came to New York town All of the local jazz were listening in admiration But long before his new sounds were round the nation Bird deserves the credit for stimulating Renaissance of Jazz It makes us very happy to announce A goodly portion of his best works reincarnated Half a treat Hurry right out and get yourself some yardbird suite (copied to another comment on yt)
One definition of virtuosity is to do something that is very difficult but to make it look easy. I bet if you as her she'll tell ya it ain't easy. Most of what some people refer to as talent is actually the result of a lot of hard work.
You two are absolutely fantastic! I LOVE the way you comp behind her so lyrically! As a pianist myself I adore accompanying vocalists. You two are a match made in heaven ❤😊
There's a lot a very good stuff on YT...and then there are things that override that ...on another level...this is world class never heard of you guys ...but I should have ..BRAVO!!
Hi guys, you've just gained à new follower. I've just discovered you and you inspiré me, I'm learning jazz at 66 in France. I realize the song is really difficult to sing and scat especially at that speed. Bravo ! À réal pleasure.
Yo! Hey Emmet/Veronica... Greetings from mid-Missouri. Emmet - you sound great; not sure about that scatting; maybe leave that to V. and you stick to the piano? (Just a thought.) Hope you both are well, healthy and maintaining. Best from Columbia/"We Always Swing" Jazz Series. - Jon
I sing this song hoping you'll all find out
The man who wrote the yardbird suite
Leave you no doubt tell you about
Charles Yardbird Parker was his name
The facts
He carved his name in history
A sax for his axe
His improvisation was miraculous
Mastermind of rhythm was he
He blew notes that nobody had ever blown before
Till then, Blew ‘em as they’d never been.
So often true as genius seems to do
He's suffered his life through but gave us the
Yardbird suite
All because he never stopped blowing
When he had the miserable woes he seem to pour out
his heart and make each person listening feel they never know what being low down could be
He knew that blowing happy music going to set him free
He blew and blew and blew until he had to change his hatta sound he had that long before we heard
when he was just a boy in Kansas city
So pretty
After he came to New York town
All of the local jazz were listening in admiration
But long before his new sounds were round the
nation
Bird deserves the credit for stimulating Renaissance of Jazz
It makes us very happy to announce
A goodly portion of his best works reincarnated
Half a treat
Hurry right out and get yourself some yardbird suite

Thank you!!
How can i like this twice
How has this not gained more recognition?? Incredible!
I know right?!
Not too bad, though for the short up time I think !
Hi, would your team post a picture of the artist that you are signing a out?
Most people don't appreciate real music!
Because it's Jazz
Great! It's like having a private concert by two wonderful jazz musicians! It can't get more intimate than that! Thanks & Love from Tel-Aviv!
This is amazing. Who knew Emett SCATS!❤️ thank you both for this masterful performance!
Veronica! Please, never stop singing and representing this beloved music. Emmet's always so lyrical.
Long live _Charlie 'Bird' Parker_ ♥
I have to echo the lady before me and say how is this not getting more recognition that's exactly correct these guys are powerful
COOKIN, both of you
To me Emmet is probably the best living jazz pianist on this planet. Stunning.
Damn... Im working on this solo for school now and she just sings it effortlessly. Incredible
That's called living the music.

Ok we all know that VS is an outrageously good singer but - what about her fashion style?? She slays at every appearance.
Yes finally a singer that doesn’t request to play a song everyone knows in an obscure key no one knows 😀
Fantastic! Now check-out Cyrille Aimee's version
Ok. I'll do just that! Love them both.
Wow wow 💪

Like for emmet singing.
나도 당신같은 사람들이랑 친해지고싶어요 왜 내겐 기회가 없나요
“Hey Jazz Fans “
Dorough wrote the words to the head but who wrote the words
to the alto chorus?
Lyrics please
yessss
Amazing! DOes anyone have lyrics for this?
They're out there, you'll find them!
Are they out there? Because I looked hahaha
Nice work! Where can I get that lyrics ?
Yess where?
Here ! Transcription !
Just in a kitchen....? So Great !
A la Hendricks and Ross
Spent far too long looking for a comment comparing this to an Annie Ross sound! Just incredible!
Damn! lots of things happening in three minutes. This is ridiculous.
Jesus! Scatting and riffing on the piano. Fughedaboudit!

Not exactly scatting, more Barry Harris-Esque (I could name many more) "mumbling" and hitting the accent notes...
I agree strongly
disagree. keep that mumble-scat coming, emmet!
Everybody’s a critic.
+1 we like the 'mumbling' - Just waiting for the 'you sound like...' comment to get my bingo line
Bravo!
