Bird Lives

Wish I was here.

One of the only known videos of Charlie Parker in existence. A great performance of Hothouse from 1952. What makes it even better is Dizzy, looking his bebop best. Love the clothes: Bird's bow tie, big-fitting 1940's suit jacket and of course, Dizzy's frames. Diz favored big thick black or tortise plastic frames. Beyond cool.
