2.0 out of 5 stars
Weakest of the series,
By A Reader from (Atlanta GA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Masters of American Music: Celebrating Bird - The Triumph of Charlie Parker (DVD)
My guess is that Bird didn't live long enough to enter TV's golden period and be involved in the video performances that was burgeoning in Europe in the late 50s/mid-60s (i.e., the Jazz Icons box sets are wonderful archives of that period). As a result, this Masters of American Music DVD had to resort to still photography and multiple replays the few existent videos that had Bird's image on them.A barely adequate presentation, compared to the other programs in the series (Billie Holiday, Monk). The one "live" video performance of Bird (with Dizzy) was AWESOME but very brief!!! Again, too bad... |
