The Night When Charlie Parker Played for Igor Stravinsky (1951)
It thrills to hear of the time in 1951 when Charlie Parker added one more story to the most storied jazz club of all by performing for Igor Stravinsky at Birdland.

Kahil had/has connections to just about any Chicago Jazz musician of note from the 1950s onwards. For instance, he first met Jack DeJohnette in 1967 when he was 14! So many incredible stories.

Recorded this day, 1971: The Miles band's European tour arrives in Dietikon for two concerts. The late show finds the band completely transformed, hitting its stride magnificently. How this one was passed over for release is baffling- it's one of the great Miles shows!
