Bird in Kansas City
Bird in Kansas City
Join UMKC for a release party celebrating "Charlie Parker: Bird in Kansas City" from Verve Records!
The record stars rare recordings – of Parker playing with the Jay McShann Band in Kansas City and never-before-heard private sessions – from our Marr Sound Archives. The album cover reveals a unique image of Parker playing at the UMKC student-run Jelly Joint, from our University Archives.
From 4-5pm view the exhibit Saxophone Supreme: The Life & Music of Charlie Parker and enjoy a reception with guest performer Bobby Watson, then stay from 5-6pm for a program and listening session with Chuck Haddix, Curator of the Marr Sound Archives and preeminent Parker historian, in partnership with the Center for Recorded Music.
