Charlie Parker & Buddy Rich – “Celerity”
May 24, 2009
Watch how “Bird” just breezes right through this tune like he’s bored…it’s unbelievable! And Buddy Rich just kills it on the skins!
Saxophonists have the best style! Not that I’m biased or anything…

Stan Getz - Looks cool even though his bowtie is a clip on.
John Coltrane - Anyone that can smoke and play like that gets my approval.
Bud Shank on Bari - Here with Chet Baker
