dance
legend,
swing cliches. Glenn Miller and
friends had driven swing past
the point of no return. So up on
52nd street, the black jazzmen
would jam, and out of t h o s e
sessions came bop. It's involved
stuff, hard to play, and in gen-
eral worth digging.
Thinking it over though, I'm
not writing this primarily to
turn people on to Parker and
I'm not just laying down a line
of heavy esoteria, it's simply a
statement that Bird still lives.
Like, let's not play fads with
music! Black people integrate
their music into their jobs and
routines, but it seems that most
white people hop around from
one brand of music to another,
never getting more than peri-
pherally involved with any
form. This year it's 1950's rock,
last year - blues, before that
folk. Jazz was up there too, the
time was the late fifties - The-
lonius Monk made the cover of
Time. The Newport Jazz Festi-
val was the biggest thing on
Earth. As white people left it
behind though, jazz clubs fold-
ed left and right, it was plain
economics.
So be it, today's mind fash-
ions say jazz is out, Bird wore
a suit, and tie, how could he be
cool? S h o v e it up Columbia
Records! Laugh off those half-
page BS music a d s. Charlie
Parker. doesn't really demand
that you have on your bellbot-
toms when you turn him on. Af-
ter all, he 's dead.
But get it clear, Bird lives!
