ValuableGigs's video: Charlie Parker - Home Cooking I - solo transcription

One of my favorite Bird solos. No up tempo, no fireworks but an amazing demonstration of his ability to juggle with rhythm structure. So many down beats are played up beat and vice versa. It results in pure swing just like Lester did 10 years before (in front of a sixteen years old Bird !). Go to my transcription of Lady be Good to check it : https://youtu.be/PeogXfZHlwQ We are the 1st of February 1947 and Bird has just got out of Camarillo Hospital. At Chuck Kopely place in Los Angeles, a party is organized to celebrate it, a jam is settled and fortunately some recording devices are ready to capture Bird solos. It is said that the mike was held by Howard McGee himself in front of Bird's sax. Home Cooking I chords are based on S'Wonderful and the bridge of Honeysuckle Rose Transcription : Hubert Cropsal
