2008-03-12 11:51:00 It was 53 years ago that Charlie Parker died (ostensibly from pneumonia but more than likely from years of alcohol and drug abuse) while famously watching television. Legend has it that at the moment he passed, a tremendous thunder-clap could be heard in the skies over New York City. Also legendarily, the doctor who attended to Bird?s lifeless body estimated his age to be between 50 and 60 years old. Parker was actually only 34 - he would have been 87 this year.What more can be said about Bird? The fluidity of his saxophone lines, the blisteringly fast solos, the pure inspiration he called on to challenge himself to increasingly complex improvisations, often on songs played many, many times before ? all part of the lore of bebop. Yet perhaps not enough has been said about his truly unique and gifted way of ?borrowing? from existing chord structures to create new tunes.

Charlie Parker meets Lovecraft

One of the running gags in First Among Sequels is a gang of Danverclones, on the loose from Rebecca, who go round arsonising other novels, trying to burn down their houses. The Pro-Caths, another criminal crew, are constantly mounting guerrilla-style attacks to get Wuthering Heights rewritten so as to give Cathy Earnshaw a better deal.The Columbus Dispatch reviews the recent release of Genesis: 1976-1982 which includes 1977 Wind and Wuthering: Wind & Wuthering (1977): In a year in which Boogie Nights made the Billboard top 10, it took a band of real men to conceive of, record and release an album inspired by a 19th-century novel.Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights moved Collins and the gang to record the moody concept album of s...
