Beloved Bird

Django Bates

A piano trio deconstruction of Charlie Parker. Jagged, rhythmically elastic, and intellectually playful jazz that treats bebop like a puzzle to be solved.

March 29, 2010

A high-energy intellectual puzzle that balances frantic complexity with moments of stark, crystalline beauty.
