One of the greatest ever. Definitely one of my favorites. RIP Yardbird. Thanks for the love you gave this miserable world. And thank you for sharing your pain.
Bird captures so much sadness in this beautiful performance. Hugely expressive. A volcanic outpouring of modest, reflective expression. Even sounding slightly bitter in the odd moment at life’s hardships. Such a great and completely timeless artist.
I started listening to Charlie Parker about 1980. Since then, all of his music has become an addiction to me. I love the original Loverman but this one was well timed and precise.
Definitivamente mi tema jajajajajajajaj saludo bird dónde estés, pues tu esencia está más viva que nunca es la mejor música de todos los tiempos....so far
Different sound from most of the recordings I've heard. Darker and buzzier. But unmistakably CP. Emotional. Very hip. Balancing the melody with flights of improvisation. I had the honor to meet Red Rodney once when he visited Barry Harris' Jazz Cultural Theater. Just a very nice guy. Of course, great jazz musician. RIP Albino Red!
@@nadyarossi5102 Beiderbecke and Bunny Berigan absolutely not in the same class (and Bunny Berigan not in the same as Beiderbecke)- regardless the simple fact that there are countless artists musician in other fields that could be named as well (Bartok, Hendrix, Stravinskij...and so on, just three) - "greatest" is something that doesen't exist
I'm not sure about Jimi but I guess it's all quite subjective. For what it's worth I think that Pat Martino has the best technique and feeling for a guitarist even though I'm not particularly fond of his music.
There is only one version of Loverman, and this is it. I bought the record when I was 15 and still have it... this was Charlie Parker Bird at his finest, with the wonderful piano of John Lewis (the founder of the Modern Jazz Quartet with Milt Jackson on vibes) and trumpeter Red Rodney (I met him in Chicago at a club concert) and the drummer Kenny Clarke (Kenny Clarke/Francy Boland orchestra in France) with his amazing drumming with just the brushes. I play this Loverman frequently, why do I constantly play it, I say to myself... because it is a wonderful jazz version of Loverman on alto saxophone by the Man himself, Charlie Parker. Be careful he did other versions, but this is the one... The only other jazz playing in my mind is Stan Getz at the Shrine version of Loverman, Getz's tenor with Bob Brookmeyer on valve trombone... I just cannot say enough about this track here, for me it was the beginning of my love for modern jazz classics... I should also mention Ray Brown who played so long with Oscar Peterson... sorry I just cannot stop talking about it...Charlie Parker my Man in Jazz History. I see from the reviews many people feel the same way... I will play it again for the melody and solos Malcolm in Burlington, Toronto Jan 2022
Man, you are right. This is the version my mother and father played so often. In fact, they just slightly older than you when you said you purchased this recording.
Kazu Tophill congratulations I will never be good enough like you are to judge Charlie Parker a man who changed both jazz and how it perceived and who changed music all over he is and was a legend. Charlie Parker is jazz.

One of the greatest by Bird. He had to show up on this one because he felt he did such a bad job on this song before he broke down and was sent to Camarillo ( he had stayed out west alone after traveling there with Dizzy).
@@danielmonte9704 Yes, I do know, but it's hard to describe. It's on Dial Records. I have a copy of that production. It's not bad, but you can tell the distinct difference.
@@danielmonte9704 Bird definitely didn't like the recording on Dial Records. There's a young woman on TH-cam who has done a marvelous documentary on Bird, like one you would never believe.
This was recorded according to several sources on August 8th 1951 and issued by Verve Records as a 78rpm sometime after - perhaps as late as 1953. I do not have the date for the Verve original release.
Since the 1950th I have been listening to and influenced by a lot of altosaxophonists. F.i Lou Donnaldson , Sonny Stitt and Cannonball Adderley, whoes sound I still admire. But still I turn back to my first meeting with the greatest of them all, Charlie "the Bird" Parker.
It was said that Bird was late to this recording session. When he got there, he was disheveled and so intoxicated that he could barely stand. One of the musicians sat him in a chair and handed him his sax. The rest is pure genius.
So it's not this one? : " Charlie Parker recorded a rendition of "Lover Man" while he was intoxicated. Dial Records producer Ross Russell had to hold him up to the microphone during the recording "en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lover_Man_(Oh,_Where_Can_You_Be%3F)

This is part of a set of 78s that was later released in LP form as The Magnificent Charlie Parker, which has just been released in a limited edition.
Bird, everytime you took flight, It was for us all. RIP Sir.
Commovente come nessun brano jazz mai assaporato...che dire Charlie di giorno pelata patate,di notte ha sempre fatto volare....

Johnny Carter.El perseguidor.J.C.
God... that low note at the beginning of his solo absolutely kills me.
This song was written especially and specifically for Billie Holiday.
Great find.
Ese también es el Johnny Cárter del cuento de Julio Cortazar el genio errático que me hizo amar el jazz. El perseguidor.

70 years later and a million and a half "likes"!
The greatest saxophonist and possibly the greatest instrumentalist of the twentieth century (along with Jimi on electric guitar).
I'm not sure about Jimi but I guess it's all quite subjective. For what it's worth I think that Pat Martino has the best technique and feeling for a guitarist even though I'm not particularly fond of his music.
@Carlos Schvartzman Well they were both very "soulful" players, there is that!
Miles too
Have you heard anyone better in the 21th?
calling bird a saxophonist is like calling bach a keyboard player. it stems from the era of refusing to give black people credit for anything.

Please don't stop talking about it. I'm fascinated.
The other version from 1946 is more remarkable because of the story behind it
Impresionante simplemente genial...
Bird and Red Rodney, two really wild guys.
The dial version is my favorite but my goodness!..this is amazing
The Dial version is good. I have that recording, but THIS is the all time best.

"Bird Lives" (a great bio by the way).
Since the 1950th I have been listening to and influenced by a lot of altosaxophonists. F.i Lou Donnaldson , Sonny Stitt and Cannonball Adderley, whoes sound I still admire. But still I turn back to my first meeting with the greatest of them all, Charlie "the Bird" Parker.
I'm sorry I forgot to mention Jackie Mclean. Perhaps together with Cannonball Adderley to best articulated altosax.

No, that's a different session with Roy Porter on drums, and it sounds terrible... Search drunk loverman and contrast the two recordings...
oh-my-god!
1:41 the bird lol
If you look at Red Rodney's left hand in that solo photo, you can see the swelling from the heroin needle injections.
Seems almost like a retake of the disastrous dial recording. Pretty much the same arrangement.

When the tempo is so slow you just gotta resort to playing 32nd notes to satisfy your need for crazy amounts of notes per solo.

Terrible recording,
Does anyone know the name of the lick played at the end or the song where it comes from?
"Country Gardens" by the English composer Percy Grainger. Bird often used it as a tag.
Percy Grainger was Australian.
