Post 8

In the musical search to play jazz, it is necessary to listen attentively as the old masters did. mysterious characters who had a lot to say with their music. One of the most important musicians that inspired me to play jazz was the great saxophonist Charlie Parker, a revolutionary who was able to create a new language in this music. Like me, there are many who admire him for his musical legacy, one of them is the film director Clint Eastwood. In his movie called "BIRD", shows the difficult life of Charlie since its inception, the most critical moments and their problems with the damn heroine. This movie takes us to travel through the nightlife of that old New York, bars submerged by the bebop music, concerts with great musicians, and the complex life of that time for African-Americans. My favorite scenes are all where the musicians are playing. But a memorable scene for me is when Charlie was younger, and fails in his solo playing with the best musicians of the time. The drummer, angry with Charlie, throws a cymbal in the form of a complaint. This scene happened in Charlie's real life. probably this was the cause for Charlie to become the great musician he was.
