Pressutdrag

"Känslig och gripande. Forest Whitaker spelar huvudrollen med sällsynt nerv och lidelse" (TT)

"Heartfelt but overlong....Fails to balance its story with any explanation of Parker's influence in the world of music. Excellent and believable performances help. (MALTIN)

"Sensitively acted, beautifully planned visually and dynamite musically" (VAR)

Kuriosa

FAKTA:

Charlie Parker (August 29, 1920 - March 12, 1955) was a jazz saxophonist and composer, and one of the top musical innovators of the 20th century. Parker is commonly considered one of the half-dozen greatest jazz musicians, on a level with Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Miles Davis, Lester Young, Coleman Hawkins and Johnny Hodges. He received early in his career the nickname of Yardbird which was shortened to Bird. Many refer to Parker as the Father of Modern Jazz since his influence on jazz is incalculable. Almost every serious jazz musician after him has at one time studied his approach to melody and harmony and absorbed much of his style. Parker became an icon for the Beat generation, and was a pivotal figure in the evolving conception of the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual rather than just a popular entertainer. At various times, Parker fused jazz with other musical styles, from Igor Stravinsky to Machito, blazing another path followed later by others. Parker was known for often showing up to performances without a horn and borrowing someone else's at the last moment. At one venue he played on a plastic Grafton saxophone. He died while watching Tommy Dorsey on television in the suite at the Hotel Stanhope belonging to his friend and patroness Nica de Koenigswarter. He had suffered tragically from drug abuse ? as a teenager he developed a morphine addiction while in hospital after an automobile accident, and subsequently became addicted to heroin. His heroin addiction ultimately caused his death at the age of 34, after a lifetime of abuse (though the "official" cause of death was a bleeding ulcer and pneumonia). The coroner mistakenly estimated Parker's age to be between 50 and 60. (WIKIPEDIA).
