Double Bass Bird Blues Tunes

[KyriacosKestas]

hey...
I recently learned about the bird blues... this unique way charlie parker played the blues... I was wondering if anyone knows about tunes - except "A blues for alice" - where the changes are the same as bird changes... thanx!

I can't think of another Bird blues that uses those exact changes, but as you probably know, you can use those changes for any blues tune and they'll work. I often throw in those changes (or excerpts from them) when I'm playing blues changes.

Though not a blues, a close second would be "Confirmation," which starts with that same descending ii-V figure as "Blues for Alice."



Edit: Sorry, I see you are inquiring about specific recordings, but again, many recorded bass players use the "Bird Blues" substitutions during their blues excursions. Can't think of a good example off hand, though.
