Top cdtjes beiden alhoewel de opnames van Thelonious niet echt netjes zijn, maar dat is voor bijna zijn hele ouvre het geval.
Nou las ik in de linernotes van Charly dat hij een echte Swing stijl had en in de notes voor Thelonious stond T beschreven als echte Bop legende. Wat is het verschil tussen de twee stijlen, want het materiaal op de CD's ligt redelijk in het verlengde van elkaar?
quote:
One of a handful of musicians who can be said to have permanently changed jazz, Charlie Parker was arguably the greatest saxophonist of all time. He could play remarkably fast lines that, if slowed down to half speed, would reveal that every note made sense. "Bird," along with his contemporaries Dizzy Gillespie and Bud Powell, is considered a founder of bebop; in reality he was an intuitive player who simply was expressing himself. Rather than basing his improvisations closely on the melody as was done in swing, he was a master of chordal improvising, creating new melodies that were based on the structure of a song. In fact, Bird wrote several future standards (such as "Anthropology," "Ornithology," "Scrapple From the Apple," and "Ko Ko," along with such blues numbers as "Now's the Time" and "Parker's Mood") that "borrowed" and modernized the chord structures of older tunes. Parker's remarkable technique, fairly original sound, and ability to come up with harmonically advanced phrases that could be both logical and whimsical were highly influential. By 1950, it was impossible to play "modern jazz" with credibility without closely studying Charlie Parker.
