Shout-out to Mr. Charlie Parker, who would have been 97 years young today. If you’re lucky enough to still have a local jazz radio station, tune in in hopes of catching an all-night, all-frantic birthday broadcast where the music is in a real crazy groove.
Or you can listen to my local station online: https://www.cc-seas.columbia.edu/wkcr/
Thanks for the heads-up, Uke. Sounds fun.
Yeah, I just read this Op Ed piece in The New Yorker, about how Bird pursued artistic freedom, but practiced his ass off to unlock it: https://mobile.nytimes.com/2017/08/29/opinion/charlie-parker-freedom.html
It’s also been 50 years since Coltrane died. Renewed our gift to KCSM San Francisco and got a 10 CD set of Coltrane along with a great T-shirt. KCSM streams online, as does KMHD Portland. Of the two, I think KCSM is better.
And here I was thinking this thread would be a solicitation of opinions on which type of cracker the OP should get for his pet cockatoo.
