Music reviews of Washington Concerts

Music Review: Sound is just okay, but Bird is in amazing form!
Rating: 5 Stars

I can only add to the chorus of praise for this CD. Charlie Parker's live recordings differ from even his best studio work in a number of ways:1)obviously, the solos are longer, displaying his amazing fluency and inventiveness;2)he tended to take more risks than in the studio, which is not hard to understand;3)he gave free play to his musical sense of humor--for example, stringing together, in lightning succession and with total musical plausibility, quotes from "What Is This Thing Called Love", "You Don't Know What Love Is", and "Love for Sale".Also such delights as parodies of popular songs old and new, military marches, the "Looney Tunes" theme song, etc. etc. The man apparently had total recall of every piece of music he had ever heard, and was able to turn it to his purposes at will.
Turning to this recording in particular, it's true that at this stage in his career CP often relied pretty heavily on stringing together solos from his huge store of pet runs and personal cliches. But what pet runs,what cliches, and what stringing together! I have listened to a lot of Bird over the years, but I found myself gasping at the speed, drive, and diamond-perfect articulation of his playing. Just as a piece of saxophone playing, it is breathtaking. If one were to compare this with the recently discovered and issued 1945 concert with Dizzy Gillespie, the kindest thing one could say is that there IS no comparison. At the 1945 concert he appears to have been having an off night, while here he is in very rare form. The only thing to be said in favor of the older concert is that the sound is better, but he comes through pretty clearly on this CD--certainly clearly enough to amaze and delight anyone whose interest is primarily in the astounding music. This recording is a permanent treasure of American music.
