Legendary jazz drummer and bandleader Roy Haynes, illustrious elder statesman of the jazz world, joins forces with four of the most distinctive and adventurous voices on the contemporary scene to pay tribute to the immortal Charlie "Bird" Parker. Father of the bebop movement and consummate improvisationalist, Parker was arguably the greatest saxophonist of all time and redefined how every jazz musician after him would approach rhythm. Fifty years after performing on the legendary live recording, Summit Meeting at Birdland, Haynes paid homage to Parker by recreating the album's instrumental lineup on his 2001 release Birds of a Feather and in this program, guides his dream band through the music that inspired his illustrious career. At 76, eternally young Roy Haynes plays with the verve and passion of a player half his age and in his hands, Bird's music is as alive and exciting as ever.
