-------------------------------------

Tonight at 6:30pm, I will join a panel with the great tenor saxophonist Jimmy Heath and alto saxophonist Steve Coleman with journalist Ashley Kahn in NYC to discuss the music of Charlie Parker for the Charlie Parker Jazz Festival. Admission is FREE!

Then at 10pm I will join guitarist Tom Guarna's Quintet ft. Luis Perdormo on Piano, Joe Martin on Bass, and E.J. Strickland on Drums at the 55bar downtown in the Village. Looking forward to it.

Fully agree that Bird is of continuing importance:

I had a great time and learned a lot about Charlie Parker on the panel with Jimmy Heath, Steve Coleman, Ashley Kahn, and Antonion Ciacca Today. Pics to come soon..

[AllenLowe]

Charlie Parker was on the panel? He must smell bad by now.

No, he's cleaned up.

Antonio had something relevant to say? AMAZING!

Did we learn anything we didn't get from Koko?

So who did the sanitized version? Phil "cap'n" Woods?

[fasstrack]

Geez, a little Phil Woods dissing going on now and again in these pages. I can only quote a story Mr. Woods tells about his old duet partner Gene Quill: a guy at a bar heckled Quill after a set: 'Gene Quill, all you do is play like Charlie Parker'. According to legend Quill handed the guy his horn. 'Here. Play like Charlie Parker'. Anyway, I hope the cats played. It would be a waste not to at least have Jimmy Heath play on a Bird tribute. Besides his own playing he's probably one of the few living people-they'd all have to be at least 80-to have either played with him or heard him live. And he ain't gonna be around forever...

[king ubu]

I know, I know - I enjoy me quite some Phil Woods, was just joking!

But I do love that story, I've read it before!

[fasstrack]

Now for penance, youmg man, go to your room and learn a solo from Dr. Wu. Then come back and sing it for your mother and me. Or YOU'RE #@$%& GROUNDED!! (;

Okay, I guess I'll remain grounded, then

(I did learn some Cannonball solos once though ... but not from my transcriptions though I do have all the recordings in question ... and, and once I did transcribe a Getz solo, but a short and sweet one, "Insensatez" from "Jazz Bossa Encore", still my favorite of the Getz bossa albums).

[fasstrack]

You're way more perspicatious than me. I haven't transcribed off recordings-except for some Tom Harrell 20 years ago-since I was a jazz tadpole. The only problem was the needle arm on the Victrola was so damn heavy. And I slipped and dropped it in the stream a few times. Maybe that's why my transcription of Bix's solo on Davenport Blues has not only notes-but every few bars the word 'gurgle'...

It took me two hours to get that one darn Getz chorus written down (from the CD, so no slowing down). That part where he goes way up, hitting about the hightest notes possible on the tenor, and some some quick flurry of notes, I never got that down ... but even for a lacking amateur like me, it was a good exercice!

You chose well. He was a master...

[Swinging Swede]

My god, how good he was already at that early stage. Sometimes I wonder why I listen to anything but Bird...
