Charlie Parker por Charles Levenson
I remember the time I tried jamming for the first time when I was just starting to learn. It was at the High Hat at Twenty-second and Vine in Kansas City. I knew a little of Lazy River and Honeysuckle Rose and played what I could.
It wasn’t hard to hear the changes because the numbers were easy and the reed men set a riff only for the brass, never behind a reed man. No two horns jammed at the same time.
I was doing all right until I tried doing double tempo on Body and Soul. Everybody fell out laughing. I went home and cried and didn’t play again for three months.
