Charlie Parker Blindfold Test

[mikeweil]

Complete audio track of a blindfold test Leonard Feather conducted with Charlie Parker, including the music played to him, and an introductory comment. Rare opportunity to hear Bird (and his wife, who was present) talking.

Interesting to hear it in real time as opposed to how it reads in print.

That was great to read, especially the Stravinsky and Stan Kenton parts. Looking forward to listen to the recording too.

Very interesting - too bad about the first half of the tape.
