Celebrating Bird: The Triumph of Charlie Parker Charlie Parker. DVD-all regions, Color, Black and White, 1987. This 1987 film represents the first substantial documentary devoted to virtuoso saxophonist and bebop icon Charlie Parker, whose wildly inventive style and hip charisma made him a legend well before his untimely death at 34. Through film clips, stills, and interviews with family members, musical peers, and writers, we follow Parker from his native Kansas City, Kansas, through his apprenticeship with band leaders Jay McShann and Bennie Moten, and on to New York. There, Parker would step forward as a de facto co-architect (with erstwhile partner Dizzy Gillespie, among others) of bebop. Liberally scored with Parker's best-known performances, Celebrating Bird represents one of the most literate jazz documentaries extant. Order Now
