Discovering Jazz

Episode 102: All About Birds and a bit of ‘Bird ’.

N/A • 14 april 2020

A lot of jazz and classical music has been inspired by the singing of birds. Including a few Charlie ‘Yardbird’ Parker tunes.

Today’s episode includes music of the veery thrush, a song thrush, a loon, and a northern mockingbird. And how they inspired Jeff Silverbush and Victoria pianist Karel Rossingh.

Also I play recordings by Blossom Dearie, Charlie Parker, Herbie Hancock ( a Joni Mitchell composition), Bob Dorough, Louis Armstrong, Bobby Darin, Charles Mingus, Sheila Jordon, and Carmen McRae. I also throw in a few words from Paul Winter and a project called Flyways.
