🎧 Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, "Bird and Diz". My 15yo watched "Whiplash" a few days ago and wanted to hear jazz that sounded "less like the music from a tv cop show". I suggested he start with Charlie Parker, and he's been listening to "The Savoy/Dial Master Takes". This is my next rec to him - a Verve session from 1950 with Buddy on drums and Monk on piano. It's only 20 minutes, but it is seriously hot shit.
@MPCavalier My dream is to visit Birdland in NYC some day! #jazz
