The best biography of any jazz musician that we have. Bird Lives!
will stand for a long time as a major source of information and
illumination not only of the great musician with whom it deals but
of the entire jazz life in this society.--Ralph Gleason Inspired by
great affection and dedication, Bird Lives! provides a vivid and
accurate picture not only of the saxophonist-composer as artist and
human being but of his zeitgeist and the musical/social setting
that produced him. Parker was an immensely complex personality;
saint and satyr, loving father and footloose vagabond, with a
limitless appetite for sex, music, food, pills, heroin, liquor,
life. A man of vast influence, the most admired and imitated
creator of the mid-1940s bop revolution, he was forced to work in
dives, reduced to bumming dollars when he should have been
respected as a reigning virtuoso. . . . A sensitive, penetrating
portrait.--Leonard Feather, Los Angeles Times One of the very few
jazz books that deserve to be called literature . . . perhaps the
finest writing on jazz to be found anywhere. . . . Those aware of
Parker's genius cannot do without this book.--Grover Sales,
Saturday Review
