Bird Lives!

The High Life and Hard Times of Charlie (Yardbird) Parker

Beschreibung

This work on Charlie "Bird" Parker offers a picture of not only of the saxophonist-composer as an artist and as a human being, but also of zeitgeist and the musical/social setting that produced him. It shows his complex personality; his great appetites; the extent of his influence; and his work.
