Coming out of the hospital, Parker was initially clean and healthy, and proceeded to do some of the best playing and recording of his career. Before leaving California, he recorded "Relaxin' at Camarillo", in reference to his hospital stay. He returned to New York – and his addiction – and recorded dozens of sides for the Savoy and Dial labels that remain some of the high points of his recorded output. Many of these were with his so-called "classic quintet" including trumpeter Miles Davis and drummer Max Roach.

So sophisticated
Dark suits and fur coats
Men s hats and ladies gloves
Perfumes mixed with cigarette smoke
Ten or eleven the night begins
Back alley bars
Chinese silk and big fat cigars
52nd streets on fire
So I take my draw
and get a drink from the bar
Birds just getting on
Soon to warm up
I contemplate just one for old times sake tonight
I tell myself just wait
The bird shall soon take flight
But God it's hot in here tonight
Sweaty dancers under the lights
All comers black,brown and white
Then the band starts
With Scrapple from the apple and I begin too fly away into the night
P$
/To all my beboppers and tea heads
This is just something
To get viperish with tonight/

A national treasure. Under appreciated that much to soon. Thank you for sharing your talent in a dark and colorless world.
@BillyMcBride
Scrapple from the Apple is sublime.
@xxczerxx
It's so fascinating seeing how Parker consistently played similar phrases but in new contexts. 1:00 for example references segments both from the beginning and end of his solo on Billie's Bounce!
@cachockey
1947 during a session for Dial, Parker is in top form, as is Miles Davis; the rhythm section (Duke Jordan, Tommy Potter, and Max Roach)

I'm learning this song on vibes for my honors jazz auditon and everytime i listen ti it i love it even more.
@breannasegura540
Im learning this on violin for my honors jazz audition too (my audition is on friday :0)
@chloecavallaro9861
Ciyprus Good luck!!!! Wow on violin!!!
@breannasegura540
I read c flute music and lower things an octave, its kinda hard yet easy! If you have had your audition yet or not Good Luck I bet you'll make It!!!!
@chloecavallaro9861
Ciyprus Thanks!! I did already have my audition and I made it!! For only like three of the songs I got actual vibe parts but one was cut and then I had one c flute part and all the ledger lines made it super annoying to play but I eventually figured out and now I can read ledger lines no prob. The most challenging piece was the piano part because I usually get piano parts but they usually have chord symbols I can read but this one didn’t have any!! I figured it out tho and it quickly became one of my favorites!
@breannasegura540
I just got out of my audition :0 I think I did good just not sure about the sight reading But GOOD JOB that seems like a lot of work
