The way Eastwoods shot this scene is phenomenal. The solo at this session people have been singing note for note for 60 years. Watch and listen to this scene and you are living Charlie Parker. What a labor of love.
Julio Cortazar en "El Perseguidor" relata la grabación de este tema en particular de un modo mucho más crudo. Según Cortazar, "Bird" no podía sostenerse por sí mismo y para poder grabar este tema varias personas de la productora tuvieron que sostenerlo para que no se desplomara. No sé exactamente cómo sucedió, pero lo que permanece en las diferentes versiones sobre este momento en específico es la trisite decadencia de una leyenda... de un grande.
@@devzeppalin ...This particular scene (the "Lover Man" session), is historically incorrect, PERIOD!!! Yard could barely stand up under his own power. He was physically supported by Dial Records' owner, Ross Russell. The entire recording date was completely disastrous. Yard was completely incoherent, and never forgave Russell for releasing these so-called memorable sides. The former didn't throw his horn through the window of the control booth. That is completely false, PERIOD!!! Most of the scenes are incorrect.
Bruce Scott Thanks. I’ve been able to read and learn more since initially leaving that comment and you’re correct, this film is far from accurate. It’s a Hollywood production however, not a documentary, so it’s expected.
@@devzeppalin ...You're very welcome! Many young jazz fans, are just simply casual fans, PERIOD!!! Now, I love practically all of Clint Eastwood's movies and when he was co-star on the classic television western series, "Rawhide." If you really want to appreciate jazz, I suggest that you start from the very beginning. Many fans start from Miles Dewey Davis III and John William Coltrane, Sr., and then just ignore the rest of the jazz legends before them. Now, that we're all in the internet age, it shouldn't take that long. I wish you the very best during your research. Ciao!
In this movie Eastwood represent Bird as sad man . Whitaker is an actor sad . Bird wasn't a sad man , Bird was a joking and funny man ...... and luciferian . I can't see Bird while play sax hunched over . Bird stood in erect and relaxed position.
Rewatch the scene. Bird was strung out during that recording. His dealer (guy in the wheelchair) shook his head, nope, no horse today. Thus, Bird had to rely on booze to get a buzz, probably to keep his head from throbbing too painfully, in order to make the recording. Moral of the scene, drugs are a bitch, but they put many of the most famous musicians in this zone where they created some of the most memorable music ever. He might not have gone live on stage in that state, but this was a private recording room.
@@boise_computer_repair Ok , I agree in this vision and situation only . In this film, however, Bird is almost always represented as a suffering and problematic man (ok the heroine but Bird was also something else) .... no, it's not an image of him that I have. Sorry but I speak for myself. Maybe I could be in error , I haven't watched this movie since many year ago .....I was sad to see him represented like this .
I watched this scene several times and l can't get tired of watching it! Awsome !!!
I come back to this scene because my dad is in it haha
