Hank Jones, Teddy Kotick -there´s one of the most underrated basists in jazz , great intonation, good notes.. And of course Max Roach. One of the Bird´s best records.
I’m 69 yrs old, don’t know a thing about reading music, I have lots of practice to do on my alto sax. Bird is great on the sax, going super fast blowing.
Charlie Parker's version of "Just Friends" (here) is outstanding as is with just about all of the Music he explored/climbed into I should say! the Med Flory led group, "Supersax" which was all about the "Bird" also has a kick-tail tasty recording of "Just Friends" well worth checking out....
Ensemble arrangements of Bird's solos are a technical tour de force, but not creative interactive improvisation, and therefore not jazz. Likewise, sometimes clever but often pedestrian lyrics set to someone else's jazz solo, also are not jazz. That stuff comes up on the radio, I turn it off.
Kim was perhaps a cheerful, busybody treasure of a beautiful lass. Charlie Parker, her emotion-filled dad, firmly and effectively describes the fact of her vivaciousness with unrelenting but paternal candor. Charlie Parker utilizes onomatopoeia-like cadences that are relevantly effective as rudimentary tools to narrate the actuality of his story with the alacrity that is the wont of an inquisitive and exploring infant.
i could play this at about 70 bpm slower than birds tempo in 7th grade. reached my peak way too early with sax, im 15, and im about to quit. I love sax and bird has inspired me, but i have to move on now and birds music lives on. Let this inspire more players, may bebop never die.
Are you shitting me?! This is the most incredible I've ever heard Bird play!
hah! yes it's unbelievable. i grew up listening to this stuff and it still amazes me.
Just under the clip are the words "no description available." What it should say is "no description POSSIBLE!"
Doesn't matter how old you are, how experienced you are, you listen to this and just think "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.........I can't even get close" haha.
Kenny G disliked this. Twice.
hahaha you are funny^^
Best comment ever
Six!

Can someone tell me which sub-genre this is? I have a feeling that it could be Bebop.
Go for it, I would love to see someone boss this out on trombone
Correct, this masterpiece was dedicated to his daughter.
Man I need the Sharingan just to read this with the music playing

i agree, i started learning this alone and after 2 days i am able to play it flawlessly at 100 bpm, gonna go as fast as charlie some day! :D
He knew this song was great, that's why he named it Kim.
Quit trying to play it off the paper and just play.
Classical mixed with blues. Great combo.
All the other virtuoso saxists are less deep musically. Charlie Parker is THE saxophonist.
After you put speed of reproduction on 0.5, its still fast
Awesome 😎

I love this flow
Haha I'm sitting here watching this with his transcribed part in from of me. It's going so fast I can't even follow just with my eyes.
not quite my tempo
i feel this song is the musical equivalent of "NYOOOOOOOMMMMM!!!"
Some dude told me that If i was a true sax that I could play this at tempo... fuck that-
LOVE YOU FOR EVER !
< Human Brain & Muscle memory at its Best >
No wonder that so many thought that heroin was a good idea. "Maybe it will make me a badass like Parker!" Nope.

Wow!!! Is that Lars Ulrich playing the drums?

The cover lists Al Haig throughout, but the first side of the album probably features Hank Jones.

amazing...
The Lp 'Now's The Time' features two takes of 'Kim'.
I do believe this is tehnically the alternate take... small detail
Kim Parker is his daughter.
Simply incredible
Not quite my tempo
Great audio quality! Sounds newish!

i dont thik soo youll never
@coolman4393 same here man

Happy New Year Kim
Bird's counting the house.
I N S A N E
i can't believe he hits the double note at 0:34
He didn't, the transcription most people read is an error. Also the scoop to the A at around :50 isn't a scoop
@hitzville81 lol

The almighty great master
CaHaRlIe PaRkEr plays wrong notes

Who's on this recording?
Hank Jones (pno), Teddy Kotick (bass) and Max Roach (drs). It was first believed that Al Haig was the pianist.
just slow it down and take it in section.
