Charlie Parker is widely considered one of the
most influential of jazz musicians, along with
Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Parker
acquired the nickname "Yardbird" early in his
career, and the shortened form "Bird" remained
Parker's sobriquet for the rest of his life,
inspiring the titles of a number of Parker
compositions, such as "Yardbird Suite" and
"Ornithology."
Parker also became an icon for the hipster
subculture and later the Beat generation,
personifying the conception of the jazz musician
as an uncompromising artist and intellectual,
rather than just a popular entertainer. His style
– from a rhythmic, harmonic and soloing
perspective – influenced countless peers on
every instrument. Like Louis Armstrong before him,
Parker changed the sound of jazz music forever.
John Birks "Dizzy" Gillespie was an American jazz
trumpeter, bandleader, singer, and composer. He
was born in Cheraw, South Carolina, the youngest
of nine children. Dizzy's father, James, was a
local bandleader, so instruments were made
available to Dizzy. He started to play the piano
at the age of 4. Together with Charlie Parker, he
was a major figure in the development of bebop and
modern jazz.
In addition to featuring in these epochal moments
in bebop, he was instrumental in founding
Afro-Cuban jazz, the modern jazz version of what
early-jazz pioneer Jelly Roll Morton referred to
as the "Spanish Tinge". Gillespie was a trumpet
virtuoso and gifted improviser, building on the
virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers
of harmonic complexity previously unknown in jazz.
In addition to his instrumental skills, Dizzy's
beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat
singing, his bent horn, pouched cheeks and his
light-hearted personality were essential in
popularizing bebop. He had an enormous impact on
subsequent trumpeters, both by the example of his
playing and as a mentor to younger musicians.
So, one night, decades ago in 1947, these two
guys met at Carnegie Hall and recorded this
fantastic album, along with John Lewis on piano,
Al McKibbon on bass, Joe Harris on drums, Elmon
Wroght, Mathew McKayDave Burns and Ray Orr on
trumpets, Taswell Baird and William Shepherd on
tormbones, John Brown and Howard Johnson on alto
saxes, James Moody and Joe Gayles on tenor saxes,
Cecyl Payne on baritone sax, Milt Jackson on
vibes, Chano Pozo on congas, Lorenzo Salan on
bongos and Kenny "Pancho" Hagood on vocal.
Enjoy!
