Charlie Parker looked like Buddha Charlie Parker who recently died laughing at a juggler on TV After weeks of strain and sickness Was called the perfect musician And his expression on his face Was as calm, beautiful and profound As the image of the Buddha Represented in the East - the lidded eyes The expression that says: all is well This was what Charlie Parker said when he played: all is well You had the feeling of early-in-the-morning Like a hemit's joy Or like the perfect cry of some wild gang at a jam session Wail! Whap! Charlie burst his lungs to reach The speed of what the speedsters wanted And what they wanted was his eternal slowdown A great musician And a great creator of forms That ultimately find expression In mores and what-have-you Musically as important as Beethoven Yet not regarded as such at all A genteel conductor of string orchestras In front of wich he stood proud and calm Like a leader of music in the great historie Worldnight And wailed his little saxophone The alto With piercing, clear lament In perfect tune and shining harmony Toot! As listeners reacted Without showing it And began talking And soon the whole joint is docking and talking And everybody talking - And Charlie Parker Whistling them on to the brink of eternity With his Irish St. Patrick Patootlestick. And like the holy mists We blop and we plop In the waters of slaughter and white meat - And die One after one In Time. And how sweet a story it is When you hear Charlie Parker tell it Either on records or at sessions Or at official bits in clubs (Shots in the arm for the wallet). Gleefully he whistled the perfect horn Anyhow made no difference... Charlie Parker forgive me. Forgive me for not answering your eyes. For not having made an indication Of that which you can devise. Charlie Parker pray for me. Pray for me and everybody. In the Nirvanas of your brain Where you hide - Indulgent and huge - No longer Charlie Parker But the secret unsayable Name That carries with it Merit not-to-be-measured From here to up down east or west. Charlie Parker Lay the bane off me ...and everybody. - Jack Kerouac

Thank you for this. My dad was one of Barry's first students back in the 80s, along with Roni Ben-Hur. He would drive Barry back home to Weehawken after each workshop. He has photos of them with Chris Anderson, Clarence C Sharp and many more from gigs they did in Harlem. I've been lucky enough to follow in his footsteps and learn from Barry as well through the Zoom workshops he's been doing for the past year - one of the good things this pandemic brought. It's wonderful to see him recognised, and to see how many people attend the online workshops from all over the world!

Ok peeps, for all of you arguing here let me help you out.....jazz has benefitted enormously from classical harmony, brought to us by pianists such as Bill Evans, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea and many others. The period of classical music they drew from is largely 20 century music or "impressionist" music, such as Ravel, Debussy and Bartok. The many musical ideas they used are too numerous to list here. It is also said that as far back as Charlie Parker, horn players including Parker would carry around Stravinsky scores, and they would also work out of classical method books for their instruments. Basic counterpoint is also essential for an understanding of melody in music, and Bach is the standard for Baroque music. You won't find jazz players of a very high level that have not played Bach at some point in their lives. The improvisation that exists in jazz however is an American art form, and has most definitely developed from African musics in America. There were other musics that contained improvisation, such as Indian classical music and Gypsy musics all around Europe, but they are entirely different to what jazz has become. The improvisation in classical music as we know it, was also likely entirely different to the jazz approach. Music is an art form - it can be cultural. but it is never racial or national. Musicians create music, no one else.

I like Barry and respect his method, I don’t agree. There are many other great jazz musicians that took it to the next level. Yes they were the grass roots for bebop. But imagine if all you listened to was Parker. As great as is it is, you can only listen to so much.

Every time I listen to Charlie Parker, I can't get enough. He was soulful and virtuosic at the same time. When I listen to Bird I can hear Lester Young and Bach. His balanced style is what made him unique and his untouchable instinct is what makes him a genius. I could listen to Bird all day because Bird's playing is so rich. I guess that is why Miles said, "You can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong. Charlie Parker." Barry often would say that, generally, nothing much came out of jazz after bebop. I agree with that. The only Coltrane recording I like is countdown because most of the other compositions sound like long unfocused self-indulgent experiments or exercises. Can you name a few of the other jazz musicians that took it to the next level? I'm just interested. I know that this is all highly subjective, I'm just curious.

Then of course the dreaded Mr.Coltrane appeared,and that really was the end of individuality.There must be at least a million Coltrane clones in the world.

@@brothercaleb Well, it seems to me that when he refutes the name "jazz" - he even puts in question names like Miles and Coltrane - and says that in fact, for him, Jazz (bebop specifically) is the continuation of classical music, he means that jazz would be the continuation of the great western musical tradition. This may seem like a good thing, but actually, it's not. More interesting would be to realize that jazz is an African-American music, which deals with different original elements and that even knew how to assimilate the language of European classical music, but used it in another way. This for me, in addition to being more historically and technically correct, puts jazz in a more privileged position than saying that jazz is a continuation of classical music. As if, for a non-white-European genre, it was necessary to approach classical music in order to legitimize itself. No, the other way around. Jazz is different in many ways and its value comes from exactly that. However, he is Barry Harris, he can say whatever he wants...:)
