Previously unknown Charlie Parker radio interview

[Mark Stryker]

I don't suppose anyone here has any interest in hearing what apparently is a previously unknown phone interview with Charlie Parker that aired on the radio in 1954. Nah, didn't think so ... but here it is anyway.

Wonder if that was a call out of the blue or pre-arranged.

Many Thanks: Always good to hear Bird!

Thanks very much for sharing this.

Fascinating stuff.

But the interviewers were so square in those days.  I was present at an interview in the later 1960s in Harrogate, UK of Lenny Tristano by a guy from BBC Yorkshire who was a pain.

Brings to mind that famous short film, "The Interview".

 

P.S. Looks like the Petterstein skit was in 1955, i.e. shortly after the Parker interview. I think there are sufficient echoes to link the two.

Listen to Bird rattle off the names of lesser-known Stravinsky pieces!
