No radio show this week, so I am republishing a podcast originally
posted in August of 2008. This tribute was first aired on the
anniversary of Bird’s 88th birthday, but its great to hear these
tunes any time of the year. This great alto player is often
considered the founder of Be-Bop music. Before Bird in the 1940's,
Jazz was primarily big-band music, dance music that was perhaps the
most popular genre of it's time. Bird featured a hard driving
quartet and quintet format with an emphasis on improvisation,
freeing the soloist to stretch out. As I listen to the 2 Bird
originals on this set, each under 3 minutes, it amazes me how much
music is packed into these tracks. The rest of the set features
modern day jazz artists that have covered Bird's compositions as
well as artists that have been influenced by his music. Actually,
every great jazz artist that has played this idium since Bird, has
taken some of his chops from Charlie Parker.
