I realize these musicians were asked to talk about Parker, and so they
did, but not one of them seems to realize that Bird came from Lester
Young, or at least chooses not to mention it. There's also Coleman Hawkins, who was Bird's predecessor in bebop, but no one mentions him in
that context either.
If you want to hear something instructive, listen to the jam session that
Norman Granz recorded in the early 50s with Parker, Hodges, and Carter.
It's an ear opener, if you listen closely.

- Plenty of players came from Lester/Hawk and stayed there. Its where Bird went that sets him apart. nt - Rick W 14:35:26 11/19/20 (0)
