About Bird Up: The Charlie Parker Remix Project
Product description I will ship by EMS or SAL items in stock in Japan. It is approximately 7-14days on delivery date. You wholeheartedly support customers as satisfactory. Thank you for you seeing it. Review To jazz fans, Charlie Parker (aka Bird) is legendary, a musical genius and an icon of cool. To mess with (or re-imagine) his work is tantamount to blasphemy. Tour writes in his liner notes, "It takes a genius to dance with a genius." Though certainly a statement of fact, it's out of place here. They may be emerging stars, but it's a bit too early to call Serj Tankian (frontman for System of a Down), Rob Swift (of the X-ecutioners), El-P, RZA and the rest of the assembled cast geniuses. As impressive a crew as it is, these remixes just don't work. The more experimental re-workings by Serj Tankian on "Bird of Paradise (Gone)" and Hal Willner's Whoops I'm an Indian on "Salt Peanuts (The Mr. Peanut Chronicles)" just seem to be exercises in ego. The better contributions come in the form of Dan the Automator's take on "Perhaps (Someday the Roof Will Get Fixed)" and Me'shell NdegOcello's interpretation of "Relaxin' at Camarillo (August 29)," where Parker's original compositions are simply complemented by new grooves and beats. It's highly overrated, but perhaps Bird Up! will succeed by helping a new generation of listeners discover the genius of "Yardbird" and the lesser-known talents on this record. Barnaby Dick --
