Free Music Review: Bird saint now !
Hit: 5 Stars
I write reviews since I knew Amazon but I have always been afraid thinkin' about writing a Charlie Parker review because he is so important to me and he is, I mean, Charlie Parker. I think every word is unusuful here to describe what a giant he has been and how much important his recordings are not only for me but for the entire Jazz community. I think his music speaks for his genius. Anyway. What he did was "simply" reinventing Jazz from it's fondamentals. He literaly invent modern jazz. Sorry if it's not enough. He established the new language, he create the idiom almost from nothing. Obviously he had his influnces but he cooked them through his genius and his creativity and he came in with something absolutly new, absolutly unique, absolutly pure genius. Absolutly Parker. Bebop. Bebop and Charlie Parker are synonimous. And bebop is in every Jazz record since 1938. Even today. No jazz musician can play today without being perfectly aware of Bird language and musical discoveries. An without playing them. Even the most atonal player will play a couple of things that you can relate to Bird. Bird is simply modern jazz. I, as a jazz musicians myself, am completly in love with Bird music and language. I'm trying to play my own things but his things are so right, so logial, so perfect you can't do nothing but playing them everywhere. Every musician after him have learned his language, maybe developing it their ways, but ... the modern jazz language is Bird phrasing and composing. Period.
Talking about Bird's music I think everything from the man deserved to be listened. Personally I own more than 150 Bird cd's (not mentioning all the thousands jazz records I own which are related to Bird and his language). I treasure even the ones recorded in the worst way. In the end it's always genius at work. After a while you will discover that he had his own licks and ideas which return here and there, the same things he returned to in his music, in his improvisations I mean, but they are his trademarks licks, his signs. Don't worry, his genius and fantasy will surprise you at every music corner, and in bebop there are a lot believe me! Maybe he could sound uninspired one moment and absolutly stellar one second later. Who can dream to play better than Bird? There are no Trane, no Miles, no Bud, no Ming, no Brownie, even no Diz for me even if I really love them all. But BIRD!
Verve records are some of the best recorded music he did. He was not at his peak which was some years prior to this recordings but he is still Bird. Verve's records are good without a doubt, think about Bird and Diz, Hi fi, With strings and you have the picture. Here they are very well presented in a remastered edition. Stylistically this edition is splendid. Verve did it big this time. The box seems a metal sigars box. Inside birds, colours, pictures, graphisms, chromed papers flourish for a quite spectacular effect. Absolutly the best bird box from an aestethically point of view. The music, well. It's Bird stuff. He graced so many lifes and gave so much pleasure to so many persons of every race and of every generation since 1940 with his music, he has been so much important to so many people and musicians that I'm absolutly not afraid in askying loud ...
BIRD SAINT NOW!
The Complete Verve Master Takes Poster
In a remarkably short span of time, Charlie Parker rewrote the rules of jazz and established himself as one of the most important musicians of the twentieth century. Parker made his mark in many ways -- as a virtuoso saxophonist, and innovative composer, a trend-setting bandleader, and a galvanizing force in the development of modern jazz. He was on this earth for only thirty-four years, but he left behind several lifetimes' worth of immortal music.Much of that music was documented by Norman Granz, the legendary record producer and founder of Verve Records, between 1947 and late 1954, just a few months before Parker's death. These three discs contain the master takes from every studio session Parker did for Granz, including the famous Charlie Parker With Strings recordings. With an all-star supporting cast that features Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Max Roach, and many others.
This deluxe package includes:
- 73 tracks on 3 CDs
- almost 4 hours of music
- a 60-page booklet
- many rare photographs
