Parker and Gillespie just made one of the best duos ever. They were both geniuses in their craft. Some of the best music ever

Of the 4 bazillion live versions of Groovin' High, this is my personal favorite.  Bird plays EVERYTHING on his solo, starting with an ultra-cool 4-bar break at 0:51 (listen to the rhythmic phrasing and melodic invention on that break-- perfect!)  As an alto player who starting playing BECAUSE of Bird's influence, I've listened to just about every studio and live recording he ever made, and this has got to be up there in my top 5 favorite solos.  I first heard this in 1979 and it still sounds just as amazing to me now... Man, they blew the roof off Carnegie Hall that night for sure!

Cool comments, thanks. Man, that first break is.... I don't even have an adjective.
