The audio track was already laid down. It's the sight of him laughing at his co-performer that they didn't want on the reel.>> ^legacy0100:

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's not actually 'laughing at' the attempt, but he is merely enjoying the moment. And perhaps the studio manager is telling him to shush because they can hear him chuckling.

Your video, Charlie Parker laughing at Hawkins's attempt to do playback, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

It's really not that complicated. Alright, the triple back was impressive, but again - many Olympic gymnasts can perform this. The one arm hand stand was nice but again - I've seen this trick being performed by other top world gymnasts. So yeah, all in all - good, but not THAT GOOD!
Dude, you reference world-class athletes and OLYMPIANS for Christ's sake--as in a handful of people in 6 billion. Who exactly is it that could do this better? Pilobolus? Your Chinese gymnasts? One the girls in this troupe is TWELVE. When Branford Marsalis plays the fucking saxophone, you don't stand up and walk out cuz "He's no Charlie Parker." Ridiculous.


He didn't walk out on Branford Marsalis. He said that it was good. Chill out.

6 am, a cup of coffee, charlie parker and jj cale on the headphones, and watching this webcam for fifteen minutes (they just switched places, woohoo!). my day already started good.

thanks for posting (even though it probably won't be allowed to stay)

I haven't seen Charlie Parker in a long time, great sift!

all musicians share that problem, MINK...we both wait for this technology, to free us from the bondage of hours in the woodshed....better yet, jack me in with some uploadables...like Charlie Parker on a good ride......

Zappa
Bunny Wailer
Selena
Sun Ra Arkestra
telemetry from the METSAT Kalpana-1-(weather satellite)
New Lost City Ramblers
Chaka Kahn
Bo Diddley
Chemical Brothers/Goldfrapp/Ozric Tentacles
Burl Ives
Serge Gainsbourg
....what is this list for again????


Ahhh reference muzak.....well, you need to codify a style of music with its most salient and glaring representatives or inventors..

Jazz(be-bop)-Charlie Parker-Thelonius Monk-Bud Powell
Blues-( all the subgroups) Electric/acoustic/delta, etc....
Too many to name-
Rock-he hehheh hehe, smae as blues
Electronic---John Cage, Laurie Anderson, Behrbohm??? list goes on...
Punk- Sex Pistols New York Dolls?? Ramones??
Bluegrass
electronica
trance
alternative (otherwise known as people in a constant state of imprint and drug-addled confusion-this also includes most chick rock...!)
this looks like a job for an old CRAY X-MP....

see how difficult this is??? (Where is that Ozric Tentacles.....now djsunkids got me going there......Boom!

Don't have to have perfect pitch to do that....Idetic memory of ones' instrument...you play so much you remember what its going to sound like beforehand. Lots of performers do this.... one was Slam Stewart, bassist who hummed the notes as he bowed.
Mose Allison, Charles Mingus,Rashaan Roland Kirk, Keith Jarrett, how bout' Joe Walsh and Peter Frampton, with their talky-thingy-dealies.....

Charlie Parker, it has been said, the way he hit the woodshed, was by learning "I Got Ryhthm" in every key, and becomming proficient in them, using that song.....once he got that down, well....he also used a Rico #5 reed, which if anyone has ever blown woodwinds, is next to impossible to get a squeak out of, unless yer embrochures' like a foundry press.

Pizzarelli has such a great voice, reminds of Chet Baker....

....Related Videos, Coleman Hawkins & Charlie Parker....man, that just rubs me the wrong fuckin' way.....

I have several of the early Ray Charles recordings where he plays a little bit of Saxophone, but I have never seen video footage of him doing it before. I read where he got some help from Sax greats Lester Young and Charlie Parker while on the road. He became a pretty good player, but his piano work got more attention.
