Synopsis of Birdmen & Birdsongs, Vol. 1: A Tribute to Charlie Parker
This video is the first in a three-part series that celebrates the life, times, and music of jazz giant Charlie Parker. Born in 1920 in Kansas City, Charlie "Yardbird" Parker became the symbol of an age, with his excessive lifestyle and creative genius on the saxophone. Addicted to alcohol and heroin, his self-destructive habits ultimately destroyed him. He died at the age of 34, but not before leaving the world an astonishing body of work. This program also features the All Star Band and the Phil Woods Quartet. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
