hello bird lovers,
there are three films with charlie parker:

1. the famouse hot house with dizzy gillespie

2. the norman granz jazz at the philharmonic "trailer" improvisation
with coleman hawkins (ballad) and in trio (celebrity)

and most rare

3.some short silent bird sitting on a table writing autographs on
little
cards or pieces of paper, front, handling with his sax, from oblique
above
and from behind. only his hands. very short movie.
it is from november, 21. 1950 from the warm-up room in the concert
hall in
gothenburg, sweden. it was taken by bo tak, 16 at the time and later
film
photographer for sweden television. it´s a 16-mm silent film clip
about one
minute long showing parker both as he warms up and as he signs
autographs.

does any of you bird afficionados more films with bird?

keep swingin´
marcel
