"Y entonces ha entrado Johnny y nos ha pasado su música por la cara, ha entrado ahí aunque esté en su hotel y metido en la cama, y nos ha barrido con su música durante un cuarto de hora. [...] cualquiera se da cuenta de las fallas, del soplido perfectamente perceptible que acompaña algunos finales de frase, y sobre todo la salvaje caída final, esa nota sorda y breve que me ha parecido un corazón que se rompe, un cuchillo entrando en un pan."

‎Essa tal liberdade

Cortázar, El perseguidor ❤️ Acabo de leer este trecho en el cuento y vine a conocer músicas de Parker. Y justo doy con este comentario ❤️
Saludos desde Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 🇧🇷

He wasn't just drunk. He was strung out. They held him up to the microphone, so he could record without falling over. And this is what came out, Charlie.

That was the earlier Dial recording of the song in 1946

I think this is one Bird's most emotional playing ever, you can hear and feel the pain and loneliness in his sax sound and phrasing. I love his ballads and tunes with strings, he slows down and allows the sax to fully express the emotion of the song.

La sonorità di Charlie si era rinfrancata. Era stridente,piena di angoscia. In essa c'era qualcosa che spezzava il cuore. Le frasi erano strozzate dall'amarezza dei mesi passati in California. Le note che si susseguivano avevano una loro triste,solenne grandiosità. Sembrava che Charlie suonasse con automatismo, non era piu un musicista pensante. Quelle erano le dolorose note di un incubo che venivano da un profondo inferno sotterraneo.

Nel periodo californiano soffriva profondamente delle crisi di astinenza: Bird era un eroinomane e, a differenza di NY, non riusciva a procurarsi facilmente la droga che lo "aiutava" a calmarsi. L'astinenza lo portava ad essere preda di forti attacchi mentali: a volte si dimostrava violento e scontroso per cambiare totalmente il suo umore in una persona gentile e alla mano. La mancanza di droga portò Parker a bere di continuo: credo che, tramite il sax, esprimeva chiaramente il suo stato d'animo e il suo modo di essere.

Dad played trumpet nearly 70 years Always said Parker was 50 years ahead of his time and did not think anybody would touch him in the next 50.

How can such beauty exist? A moment in time, and a painful one at that. But the result, despite Yardbird's disdain for an interesting error that ended up in expressing the emotions of the ballad anyway, was the most gorgeous rendition that not even Billie Holiday's wonderful version could rival. Charlie's harmonics at the end are the stuff dreams are made of. Like it or not, Bird, this one of yours is one of Jazz's memorable highlights.

Charles Mingus called it one of Parker’s best—what it lacked in proficiency was transformed by soul. I find the phrasing absolutely mesmerizing. It is a work of an exhausted genius, really, who still manages these flourishes of creative brilliance.
