Bassist's Playing Bird

[gre107]

Does anyone know if there has been a bassist that has recorded an entire album of Charlie Parker tunes?

[PaulNYC]

wow, imagine if the solos were reproduced note for note.

[gre107]

It would be cool.
If someone has done it they are probably from Europe. There are some Italian cats that just tear up the fretboard.

The closest I know of anything to that is Pastorius' cover of Donna Lee. I'm sure you've heard that though.

It's not a album of bass solos but, the tribute album Will Lee did with his dad is wonderful, it's called 'Birdhouse'.

[gre107]

Cool,
Sounds nice.
I'll have to check it out.

I've been working on "Confirmation" and "Moose the Mooche", its proving great fun. I haven't transcribed the solo's but improvising over the chord changes is what it's all about.
