"A lot of guys played fast. Rapid! But they didn't play the
notes that Charlie Parker played... Bird has some notes in his
melodies, the lines that he wrote, that are deep notes...deep
as anything Beethoven ever wrote."
Dizzy Gillespie on Charlie Parker
---
To Bird with Love: Live at the Blue Note was taken from a
month that Dizzy Gillespie was featured at the Blue Note in
New York, virtually at the end of his playing career, the
74-year-old trumpeter is quite erratic on this set of bop
standards. However, his supporting cast (heard from in
different combinations) includes such major players as
altoists Jackie McLean, Antonio Hart and Paquito D'Rivera and
tenors Benny Golson, Clifford Jordan and David Sanchez, in
addition to a strong trio led by pianist Danφlo Perez. The
sidemen are in generally fine form and Bobby McFerrin
literally came out of the audience to scat on "Oo Pa Pa Da."
The good spirits and obvious love that these musicians had for
Gillespie make up for his technical lapses.
