AVAILABLE NOW . . . CHASIN' THE BIRD: CHARLIE PARK

AVAILABLE NOW . . . CHASIN' THE BIRD: CHARLIE PARKER IN CALIFORNIA with an introduction by basketball and cultural icon Kareem Abdul-Jabbar!

“Chasin’ The Bird, a phenomenal graphic novel…becomes an archeological dig into the legend that was Bird—and the man that was Charlie Parker” says Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. “What is especially impressive is how Dave Chisholm and Peter Markowski capture in words and art, the spirit of Bird’s music, rooted in the traditions of classic music but reshaped into his own—and their own—personal expression. It is the universal quest each person embarks on to find their unique voice.”

CHASIN’ THE BIRD: CHARLIE PARKER IN CALIFORNIA is named after Charlie Parker ‘s 1947 standard and it explores Bird’s tumultuous relationship with the characters and events he encountered during his mid 1940’s stint in Los Angeles including: Dizzy Gillespie, John Coltrane, Ross Russell (Dial Records), William Claxton and others who found themselves in the orbit of the jazz giant!

The graphic novel is available in standard and deluxe edition.

Remembering
Red Rodney:
September 27, 1927 – May 27, 1994

Red Rodney had one of the most prized jobs in jazz, playing trumpet in the quintet of the altoist Charlie Parker. When Clint Eastwood produced the 1988 film “BIRD” (inspired about the life of Charlie Parker) Rodney was portrayed in it and contributed trumpet on the motion picture soundtrack.
