In Reply to: "BIRD"... A film by Clint Eastwood....Jazz lovers comments please. posted by audioman on June 8, 2001 at 22:35:38:
what a great film!
while i'm not crazy about charlie parker (although he did influence one of my mentors- jaco pastorius, an electric bassist), the movie gives a very good insight into the personal and musical life of a great pioneer in jazz.
as far as jazz sax is concerned, i'm more of a wayne shorter/michael brecker type of fan...but didn'they get the chops form bird anyway?
