Happy Birthday, Bird
#1
Charlie Parker with Coleman Hawkins, Hank Jones, Ray Brown, Buddy Rich ...

Dig Bird's joyous smile and rolling eyes ... in awe as Hawk soars.

Note that the video -- film shot by the celebrated Gjon Mili -- and audio are not synchronized. Different takes are used because no complete a/v takes survive.

Narration by impresario Norman Granz.

Bird Lives!

If an individual, through either his own volition or events over which he had no control, found himself taking up residence in a country undefined by flags or physical borders, he could be assured of one immediate and abiding consequence: He was on his own, and solitude and loneliness would probably be his companions unto the grave.
-- James Lee Burke, Rain Gods

You can't blame the innocent, they are always guiltless.  All you can do is control them or eliminate them.  Innocence is a kind of insanity.
-- Graham Greene
