Charlie Parker- Perdido

Sunday Jazz Continues!!  check us out as we broadcast live from a remote outpost out off of I-20 in Atlanta! 

But my mind wanders to Mayfield Kentucky where a tornado blew through with total devastation, we all need to start praying; somebody will understand a brotha!

Lord Help! Lord Help! that’s the Battle Cry, why ask why when y'all should know he’ll keep us? 

One accord business as we get back to this breakbeat scientific business, naysayers will probably sleep on us..

..as we creep up on this peaceful moment; listening to some classic jazz from Charlie Parker with a track called Perdido!

I ended up on this route after listening to Deb Moore on Atlanta’s WCLK earlier!

She did a tribute to jazz pianist Barry Harris, where Mr. Harris mentioned Bud Powell was one of the greatest piano players ever!

Mr. Powell is on this track! check out the other all star players on one of the best jazz tracks ever!

• Alto Saxophone – Charlie Parker
• Bass – Charles Mingus
• Drums – Max Roach
• Piano – Bud Powell
• Trumpet – Dizzy Gillespie

 

Sonny Rollins Quartet - Moritat (MackThe Knife)

Sunday Jazz Continues...checking out this Sonny Rollins Quartet....with a cut called Moritat...or street ballad in German...also can be a murderous deed....

..so...in essence the definition covers this song either way...its a smooth street ballad...plus Sonny and the crew are killing it!! 

...it's also  known as  "Ballad of Mack the Knife" (Die Moritat von Mackie Messer) the original smooth criminal, not the one mentioned by Michael Jackson!!

...anyway...the Sonny Rollins Quartet are Sonny Rollins (tenor sax), Tommy Flanagan (piano), Doug Watkins (bass), Max Roach (drums) ...that's a nice crew!! check this out!!
