“Once I could play what I heard inside me, that's when I was born.” — Charlie Parker
@SVG__Collection That is the essence of being an artist.
@SVG__Collection A frightening music vocabulary.
@SVG__Collection Great piece of film with Bird & Hawkins
@SVG__Collection Killer subtones. Those old sax's had a knack of hissing a bit though. Still amazing

@SVG__Collection Coming from Bird, it makes this quote even more beautiful. I'm sure a lot of people felt the same when they first heard him too.
@SVG__Collection This might be my all time favorite music quote. You should come on @EA_guitar and @zul0ck show on Thursdays.
@SVG__Collection What a wonderful world it would be if we could all discover and learn how to express that unique voice within ourselves .
@SVG__Collection Ear candy. Sweet and lovely. Thank you for posting!
@SVG__Collection Bird was other worldly! According to Q, he was the greatest musician of the 20th century. I can’t argue with that.
@SVG__Collection Is that Coleman Hawkins with Bird?
@SVG__Collection Hawk just sitting there like "WTF am I gonna play now?"
@SVG__Collection Ben Webster is really digging it trying to keep relatively composed.
@SVG__Collection 🥹 This is where all writers, artists, and musicians long to dwell.
@SVG__Collection I think this might be synced with the guys’ knowledge that they had to play along with their own recording. Hint: they were pissed off.
