Where have I been???
I put on my Parker at Birdland CD after not listening to it for about 5 years and I was suddenly struck.
I couldn't remember that the album is: McCoy Tyner = Piano Jimmy Garrison = Bass Elvin Jones = Drums Chucky = Cheeze Machine (and Soprano Cheeze Machine) And I had to open the cover to read that Three of my all time favorite players and I couldn't remember they are on this recording. And where have I been that I haven't filled out my collection of the other great Elvin Jones albums?!?!?! Somehow I got sidetracked by that Miles crew with Ron Carter, Herbie, Al Foster/Tony Williams and forgot to come back.

Whatever it is you've lit up or poured, I want some! Surely you're citing the October 8th, 1963 Coltrane quartet live venue at Birdland, released on Impulse. Now Parker with that trio backing him up would have made for some seriously strange music.

Oh shit, you're right.
Well I never said I could keep my head right. All you need to do is go sleepless for about 4 years. I watched fightclub last night and I really identified with the main character

I don't know how you do for imagining the chords that he is using...
I sit and listen to him and, as he flies all over the register, I imagine the chords he is using and how he manages to take the root chords of his phrases and trurn them into passing phrases. P.S. I usually wear a seat belt when I listen to him
