Jumping." Charlie Parker was in the sextette at this time, but is not

No.86: Parker/Town Hall 45

Yoichi, very neatly capsulised the N.Y.T. article but the best thing to do is BUY THE DISC! You can't go wrong. The liner notes provided with the disc are exquisite! If you buy the the disc, you'll get all the information about the recording, the find, and "thensome"! In the U.S., we have a cooking show called "Emeril Live". Emeril, has musical guests on his show, and will usually tell us (the veiwers) to buy fifty or sixty copies of the C.D., to pass around to friends. It's good advice for the "Town Hall Release". As I said, this recording is STUNNING!

No.85: RE: Town Hall Concert 1945

This is an extract from The New York Times, Sunday, July 31,2005.

"...the most stunning jazz discovery in a decade - the Rosetta Stone of bebop -..."

"...the trove consisted of seven 12-inch acetate discs, on which was recorded a 40-minutes concert
by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker at Town Hall in New York on June 22, 1945."

"At the Town Hall concert, the musicians were free to play the tunes - "Bebop," "Groovin' High,"
"Hot House," "A Night in Tunisia" and "Salt Peanuts,"...at a furious tempo.
Solos went on for two minutes or more, and they're blazing - Diz scaling heights on trumpet,
Bird hitting speeds on alto sax, that no one had heard before..."

"...a Saturday morning in the fall of 2000, when Dr.Sunenblick [the owner of Uptown Records] ... drove to
a record show at the Elks Lodge in nearly Chelmsford. He struck up a conversasion with a "picker" a special
breed of collector who tracks down extremely rare records and sells them quickly for cash only.
A few weeks later, the picker, who lived in Milton, Mass., called him, said he'd found a very unusual acetate,
and offered to play it over the phone.
... The disk was the collector's dream, a trasure-map fragment of a secret history.
The picker, who to this day insists on anonymity, told him he'd found the acetate at an antique store
just outside Stamford, Conn. Dr. Sunenblick, who figured it had to be the first of a multidisc set,
begged him to go back to the store and look for the others. He found six more. They turned out to
contain the rest of the concert."

"Parker and Gillespie also played at Town Hall a month earlier, on May 16, 1945.
... Are there acetates, too? "

The Times won't let you see the article unless you "deal out dollars". If you're anxious to read it. it was pubblished on July 31. 2005. click the archives button while you're in the Music Page on the site. Type in "Bird Lives! The Birth of Bebop. Captured on Disc".

Oh Well.

No.80: New Bird Release

The New York Times ran an article on a Bird & Diz concert that played at Town Hall. N.Y.C.. on June 22. 1945. The concert was captured on acetates. by twin disc cutters. operated by someone who knew what he was doing. If you are reading this; go to Amazon.com. or whoever you buy C.D.s from. and grab it! Now! It's stunning!

Pertinent Information:

Title: Dizzy Gillespie - Charlie Parker
Town Hall. New York City. June 22. 1945

Label: Uptown Records

C.D.#: UPCD 27.51

UPC #: 026198275129

I'll see if I can grab a link to the article. and give it to Yoichi. I'd give you more information on the C.D.. but you should BUY IT! The liner notes are GOOD. as are the photos. This C.D. is everything the Times article said.

No.79: clifford brown

hi nick.

yeah. the new philology website is a little bit strange. the easiest way is to write directly to mr. paolo piangiarelli at philology@philologyjazz.it and ask him. he will answer your questions quickly with a list of the 26 volumes (i think) of brownieｴs eyes.

good luck.

btw still missing the only recording of bird and brownie together (still unissued in the possesion of larue brown watson) when will it come to light?????

No.76: Parker's early years

Hi there.

Does anyone have any information regarding Charlie's teenage years. I am writing an article for my website concerning these years and am having trouble getting accurate dates for key events in his life. i.e. the Ozark trip(s). or when he first took up the alto seriously. or when he first went to Chicago/NY If anyone has anything that can confirm dates. etc. please. please contact me!

Thanks

Llew


PS Regarding Raschka's book: I think it might be the language of be-bop. I've got a book at home that might help. I'll check it out and get back..... (Have you seen Mysterious Thelonius by the same author??)

Hi Liz.

I couldn't find any relation between Charlie Parker and chickadee. and overshoes.
However. intonations on saying those words may express rhythmically syncopated Charlie Parker's be bop sounds.
And. I interpreted the lonely cat that the bird (Charlie Parker) flies
freely and swiftly. so the cat couldn't go after him.
I've carried this topic on Japanese BBS. I'll let you know. founding other opinions.

Just wanted to share this with bird fans. my wife and i were in kansas city on the 50th anniversary of bird's passing. we went to the american jazz museum and negro baseball museum on friday. we also went to birds school - lincoln high. the next day we bought some flowers and laid them on bird's grave. there was noone there. and all we could hear was the birds singing - very appropriate. that night we went to a restaurant called plaza 3. and saw the scamps. a kansas city fixture for many years. one of the guys. art jackson. played with bird in the school marching band. and i had a few words with him.

norman. if you want to sell thos espare bird eps. let me know - we have met if you remember.
