I thought I read somewhere that Charlie Parker recorded on 28/10/1947 for DIAL his version of Stravinsky 's Firebird Suite under the title Bird Of Paradise. can someone confirm this? it's the classic C. P. 5tet with M.D on tp, Duke Jordan on p, Tommy Potter on b and Max Roach on ds BTW mentioning Duke Jordan, is he still alive? thanks in advance A.
Axel,
"Bird Of Paradise" is a Bird variation on the changes of "All The Things You Are".
My understanding is that Duke Jordan is alive but in very poor health and is no longer playing.
