Sep 4, 2008 - Congratulations.You've solved the problem of the lack of footage of Parker.This is almost just as good - if that makes sense.It shows the environment which helped create the pace and texture of Bebop, if nothing else.

Sep 4, 2008 - This tune for most of this video is "Cool Blues" but then closes with Monk's "52nd Street Theme". These pics are great!

Sep 4, 2008 - Bird, of course, but it's nice to hear Fats Navarro, one of the trumpet players I never got to hear enough of.jim

Sep 4, 2008 - Well done, this photographic impression, I agree with flamencoexpress. And good to hear Fats Navarro.

Sep 4, 2008 - I agree, excellent images. Tommy Potter was the "unsung" member of Bird's Classic Quintet. TP played with Bud Powell, Max Roach, Diz, Miles, Blakey. He and Curley Russell are two of the best Bop Bassists ever.
