Customer Celebrating Bird: The Triumph Of Charlie Parker Reviews DVD




2 stars Its better to buy his music or a book about him
Very poor documentary. I was expecting a little bit more from this documentary. It has a lot of still images with Parkers music on the background. A sort of pseudo video-clip. Nothing new here. The people that give their testimony on this DVD (Diz, Chan Parker, and others) should include other important personalities. What about Max Roach, Oscar Peterson, and so on... I now that video recordings of Parker are scare and rare, but if you whant something more to know about Parker, listen to his music instead of this. There is a better documentary (audio format), the Benedeti tapes.

Feisty re-imaginings of beloved songs from the pop, folk, and classical canon make violinist David Garrett's self-titled album an unpredictable and joyous listen. Garrett--a former student of Itzhak Perlman--has remarkable control over his tone, guiding his violin to sound tremblingly sweet ("Nothing Else Matters"), bluesy and soulful ("Ain't No Sunshine"), jaunty ("Zorba's Dance"), and ...

Memoirs Of A Geisha CD  (2005) Original Soundtrack

Celebrating Bird: The Triumph Of Charlie Parker movie DVD
CD $12.09  4.8 stars Top 500 Audio Samples
For the soundtrack to 2005's MEMOIRS OF A GEISHA, Hollywood composer John Williams unveils one of his most inventive scores. The film, based on Arthur Golden's bestselling novel about a poor girl who becomes a refined geisha in World War II-era Japan, is enhanced by Williams's emotive (and often melancholy) music, which deftly blends orchestral works with passages that feature traditional Japanese instruments such as the shakuhachi and the koto. Remarkably, this mix of western and eastern sounds never comes across as forced, thanks to both Williams's bold musical vision and the outstanding solo contributions of cellist Yo-Yo Ma and violinist Itzhak Perlman. The opening track, "Sayuri's Theme," is a hauntingly beautiful piece, while "The Fire Scene and the Coming of War" evokes an appropriately ominous tone. What is perhaps most striking about GEISHA's score, however, is the use of quiet, reflective moments and pure silence, with Williams effectively adhering to the old adage of "less is more." Composer: John Williams . Personnel: Hiromi Hashibe, Masayo Ishigure (koto); Itzhak Perlman (violin); ...
