No.70: Teacher needs help!!

I am using the book. Charlie Parker Played Be bop. by Chris Raschka to teach third graders about jazz. poetry and biography. Can anyone tell me why the author refers to Charlie Parker's cat..."Never leave your cat alone." Or what the connection he has to "Chickadee" and "Overshoes?"

Thank you for the valuable information.

I wish many people can visit bird's grave.

No.61: birdｴs grave

hello bird lovers.
from another list i have this information:

US: Museum mulls moving jazz musician Charlie Parker's remains US Parker

KANSAS CITY. Missouri. Oct 13 AP - The American Jazz Museum Board is considering moving jazz musician Charlie Parker's remains to a new grave.

The board voted Tuesday to explore the idea of moving Parker's remains to the 18th and Vine District in Kansas City. The vote was prompted by a recent trash dumping at Lincoln Cemetery. where Parker is buried.

The board favours moving Parker's remains to a mausoleum in a sculpture of Parker at Charlie Parker Memorial Plaza. near the jazz museum.

``It would be good to move it (the grave) from an area where no one can find it to down here where ... people can come and pay their respects.'' said board memberMike White.

Before any final decision is made. the board will research the legal requirements and costs of such a move.

Bird's present gravesite can be viewed here:

No.59: An answer to Roderick

On the english message board. Roderick (#24) asked if there were any interviews with Bird available on the net.There is one interview that I know of that was recorded. I picked it up on a
"bootleg" label in New York City back in the late seventies.It contains a short interview in which Bird recounts his tale of slipping "bennies" into "Rubberlegs" Williams coffee. He should look for any reference to:

Label: MEEXA DISEOX
Number: 1776
Record Label: La Mere D'Oiseau Disques
Title: Rappin' With Bird

In addition to the interview. there are several air-checks.

Bird Lives!

No.57: Biddy and Bird

Greetings!
I'm a jazz flautist living in New York City and I've been a fan of Charlie Parker's music all of my life! Here's why: Bird met my dad. guitarist William 'Biddy' Fleet in Harlem in 1939. The two of them became fast friends. Dad showed Bird different chord progressions on standard tunes of the day. most notably a song called Cherokee. Trust me. all that I say is true and a historcal fact. One December evening. Bird heard the changes in a different way and in his own words 'came alive'. Bebop was being made during these jam sessions. though unfortunately. it was never recorded. Keep in mind this was before Bird met Diz. I have several stories that my late father told me about the collaboration between him and Parker. If you're interested in knowing more contact me at Fleetfamilyhouse@aol.com.
Peace.
