Stupendo spaccato di un mondo che cambiava... la guerra era alle spalle. Grande musica colta, grande Bird
That's my Uncle Ted on drums songs 9 through 12. Uncle Ted was also a very talented photographer.
did he takes photo this day, befor or after the concert ?
Must be amazing being able to have a glanze to the past through pictures!
amazing
May GOD always bless your Uncle Ted, Cleo Easily. SRC.
Uncle Ted is a fine musician!!!!
What a gift to be able to hear this for the first time! I’m attending a Bird concert!
I was there . I remember it like it was yesterday. I heard bird say he had to use the restroom. So i shut the toilet off before he went in. So he couldnt flush . Then i put some of his pee in a bottle..from time to time I get that old bottle out, put this album on , sit back, and take a sip
@@brandonmalone8780 you have a gift
This is one of the best recordings I'v ever heard from Charlie Parker. He is in absolute top shape. Unbelievable what he's doing.
I mean, the recording of Parker's great, but the guitarist is barely heard, which ruins not the guitarist's solo, but also Parker's trade with him
After listening to this recording for a considerably portion of time i got to the concluntion that bird lives !

This is superb. Thank you CZcams and Takis for making my life even better! A live concert with a good sound quality (except for poor Dick Garcia's inaudible guitar). BIrd is in good form and playing some wonderful licks. Pianist Valdo Williams seems to have been heavily influenced by Al Haig (no bad thing). Where are all these incredible recordings coming from? For decades I had been under the impression that I owned everything he recorded! In the last ten years some very rare and priceless sessions have come to light. How many more are out there??
Paul Haywood The Bird flies again.
I understand what you are saying. That's a good thing to me. First heard Bird when I was 21. I'm 68 and keep hearing new stuff to my ears and not just Bird
I knew Valdo.
Bird sounds great but the I think the recording is horrible. Sax out front and clear, the rest wayyyy in the background, sounding like they're in another room. The great thing about it though is that bird is playing longer solos than usual, and anything with bird is worth checking out.
Jazz at it's finest. unconventional at the time. Bird was on the low down, the up town and the forever town. That's what he does!!!!
Until the '60s, Montreal was the capital of jazz in Canada.
Now it has the greatest jazz fest in the world.
The album cover photo cover alone is historic. Charlie playing a pro-to type plastic sax.
is he playing it on the album?
Are you shure?

De nada, los amigos de Bird son mis amigos.
thanks!!!!
Bird lives !
Bird sounds great on this recording, thanks for sharing
Bebop is one of the greatest styles ever I love it because it’s very fast and complex it is great it’s too bad Charlie Parker never lived to see his impact on the world I love this type of music I could listen to it for hours keep on putting more stuff like that.
Wow Charlie Parker does live he is my absolute favorite artist ever and Man bebop should not be forgotten because it’s not the greatest jazz styles ever.
Same here man..absoulute fav..
THE LATE GREAT 👍🏻 CHARLIE PARKER REST IN MUSIC 🎵 🎼 🎶 YOU WERE A GREAT 👍🏻 MUSICIAN YOUR MUSIC 🎵 🎼 🎶 LIVES ON...........🙂
Genius at work
play it now, Charlie Parker!!!
Legend of jazz👍👍👍
I was feeling lethargic today until I heard this, now I'm awake.
jess - I agree - he makes me alive again .. lol .. from Norrbotten in Sweden !
holy crap I listened to the entire show.
I LOVE U CHARLIE .👍 MUSIC.
This is utterly magnificent Bird. Oh , to have been there that night. Many thanks for uploading.
I remember renting this c.d from a c.d rental shop on St. Laurent (I know, odd concept) on the plateau in Montreal in the mid 90's. Much to my surprise the liner included transcriptions of Bird's playing on all the songs!
Yes! I found this CD at a used record store here in Las Vegas and it had the transcriptions in the booklet. Now I wish I’d bought it.
Charlie Parker, el Bird, brilla en su solitario destino. Creador del Be bop, desarrolló la técnica de los acordes vertiginosos como una cascada, que filtraban nuevas sonoridades entre líneas de la sintaxis jazzística. Innovo la ejecución, aportando a la renovación del jazz, música afro americana. El mercado parece haber olvidado su música, Pero Bird brilla junto a Dizzy, Bud powell, Mingus y otros grandes: su influencia en el mundo de los ejecutantes está viva todavía.
Chez Parée: Know the place well, saw many acts there, but arrived 10 years too late to catch Bird live in Montreal that used to be a great Jazz Mecca! All that gone, but at least we still have priceless recordings like this one!
What were the best shows you've heard at Chez Parée? A mythic place in Quebec's folklore!
I don't remember them all between Rockhead's , Silver Dollar, Rising Sun, Roland Kirk, Cannonball, Dizzy, Chet, you name them, it was part of my life and still is!
This snd the Washington shows- recording are so underrated. Brilliant.
THANK YOU
Great post! Thanks!!
I remember meeting Neil Michaud, many years ago, in London. When he told me that, in his bass-playing days, he had played with Bird, I thought he was just making it up, because he knew that I was interested in jazz. Years later, when this recording was first issued, there he was. So, belated apologies......
Wooow, grazie per la pubblicazione del video!
Brilliant!!! Professional!!! Unique!!!
Thank you for this and keeping real jazz alive
Love this.
Que música increíble 🎶
this is just KILLER
By all standards of the time, that Grafton plastic horn was a bad sounding hard to play toy, yet here we are. Charlie was as close to God as humans get. God playing saxophone.
Jazz is Charlie..
ahahahah not nice for the others !
Hmm yardbird flying hear. The only other recordings I say could match this of him is the Massey hall recording of bird, Gillespie, B. Powell,Mingus and roach. The only time the Magic five performed together.
The guy playing keys on cool blues is amazing. Wow
Bird was specially in good shape that day, other live recording around this time are not so good,
#Birdforever
What about the Massey Hall concert ?
@@olebirgerpedersen You right, Bird is excellent at Massey Hall. I rather spoke about Boston Hi-Hat performances. See you !
paul bley is astonishing on this session!!!😎
I dig it
Love the "Tenderly" quote in Ornithology (~2:50)
The incredible thing is that parker, before the concert, lost the Saxo and he bought a plastic one to perform as you can see in the photo.
like Ornette !!!
.... Aunque tal vez menor.....es lamentable este hecho....Una noche de tanta inspiración..... ameritaba un instrumento a la altura
de sus magistrales interpretaciones.... Mas...ni el modesto Grafton.... opacó el nivel superlativo de un músico que aportó tanto.....como lo fué Charlie Parker.....o Bird...para los amigos....
Quoting his famous alto break from A Night in Tunisia all over the place! damn 64th notes.
A shame they left our Bird's solo on Bernie's tune. It was great.
❤️🌸🌱😃
Valdo!
🍀😀
Wuao Bird at his best🎷
Does anyone know what the quote is at 19:26 in Moose the Mooche?
I can't believe I've never heard this... Bird is sooo clean on this recording. It's like he's super-conscious. It's absolutely astounding to me that he was a heroin addict. How is that possible? It sounds like he is operating on a higher plane of perception.
Astounding Bird performance - greatest speed he ever attained, for one? And if it's the plastic horn as per the photo, and not the Conn, it's missing only a tiny touch of reverb, shame there was none, and CBC stayed away from reverb for years, probably had a booklet forbidding it, & any hint of tape slap - & OK maybe when you've got 15 ips tape and Tannoys and giant tube amps to listen through, you don't care about reverb or worry what compression at broadcast or laquering is going to do to your already dry tape. Van Gelder for one figured this out quick.
@geo mcfet I totally agree.
We're just lucky to have this recording. Bird is in fine form.
@geo mcfet Decadence is a way of life nowadays...!
What?... 30 ips on tape...
I wonder if the TV recording was a kinescope (film off a TV screen) rather than a straight audio recording. Videotape had a few years to go before it was developed (1956). Montreal only had one TV station at the time, sharing time between French and English audiences. It had signed on less than six months before this recording was made.
I think the real question is, where are these Solo Transcriptions mentioned on the cover of the album!??
I found this CD in a Las Vegas used record store and it did have the transcriptions.
toe tappin on this one.
I remember Red Rodney on Charlie Parker, explaining why Bird stuck on that plastic saxophone for a long while "having neglected to collect the money to get his horn out of the pawn. Can somebody tell me where does Bird sound plastic?"
no where! Bird sounds like Bird on every horn he played, The 'plastic 'Graftonite alto made in England during the brass shortage following WW II, was not a bad horn
Grafton saxophone met the guy that designed the keywork his name was Hecktor Somaruga nice guy came from a poor Italian family Had a go on his grafton
I tried one in Australia, not a bad horn, right?
Is this the sound of a plastic saxophone?
Or photos came from another footage?
Does anyone know who the rhyrhm section is?
Too bad the guitar was recorded louder in the mix, he sounds like he's keeping up on his solos? Anyone know who the guitarist is?
Says Dick Garcia in the info provided above.
@@hetmanjz thanks Jan
Dick Garcia was an incredible musician. Look for his album A Message From Garcia
20:40 Barry Harris mentions this phrase in his DVD sets, right at the start.
can you imagine if modern recording tech had been around??? We could actually hear the guitarist and be treated to the sonic richness of Bird and Paul Bley
Chez Parée, a mythic place in Quebec's folklore. How many people were there that night? I wonder... Anyway, Bird lives!
There was a jazz club in Montreal called Biddles. Does anyone know if it’s still open?
WOW around 20:00 mark my country Canada becomes the center of the fine arts world - the sound is good & Mr Parker IMO is re-setting his own bar. Tune is Moose which is named for he junko partner in LA from 1945 - Brid's connect for smack.
Audience in MTL gets it - Parker is as great as anyone has ever said. Said, for 8 years. Listen to the applause for Embraceable.You - Mr Parker has to cut it off.
The Roz Russell book does not do this event justice, it really was a downer & sorry I read it & did not make my own assessment of Bird the way I have James Brown or Betty Carter - would avoid a bio on them, now, lest it be written by some square or agenda-drrver or axe-grinder
Are you talking about the book ‘Bird Lives’? A downer indeed…
🌸☺️🐤🍀
Is that Bird doing the song introductions?
yes
Is this the one where he plays a plastic saxophone?
Wow! I presume this is from the same tour on which Charlie Parker gave the legendary but (to my mind) very overrated concert at Massey Hall in Toronto on May 15, 1953. But despite the no-star backing he gets here versus the all-star lineup at Massey Hall (Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, Charles Mingus and Max Roach), he is in electrifying form on these recordings. Incidentally the plastic alto sax on the cover here was the same one he used at Massey Hall. This is some of the very best Bird on record, and Brew Moore is just an added bonus.
The versiones web talen for the film BIRD...
06:05
High quality sound.
Fantastic music! I wish the announcer would just shut up.
Bird.
Is he really playing a plastic horn?
wake up , play Charlie Parker and enjoy coffee and weed.
I can dig it!

Valdo Williams really copied Powell’s style
Bop den scoth!
Would be great to get the personnel listing but really, who cares? Except for Bird, nothing much else happening.
I never did understand why these peoble who turnes their thumbs down, never writes why.
