Birdmen & Birdsongs, Vol. 2: A Tribute to Charlie Parker (1998)



This is the second volume in a three-part series that features the music of "Bird," the great jazz musician Charlie Parker. An integral player in the history of jazz , he was an endless innovator on the saxophone. He was also the first black man to make his feelings known to the white establishment regarding the treatment of black people through the institution of segregation. Filmed live in Cannes in January 1990, this musical tribute features the Phil Woods Quartet, Hal Galper, and the Jon Hendricks Group. Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide
