Stravinsky saw Charlie Parker play at Birdland
club of all time by performing for Igor Stravinsky at Birdland. Alfred Appel tells it definitively in his book Jazz Modernism: From Ellington and Armstrong to Matisse and Joyce: The house was almost full, even before the opening set - Billy Taylor's piano trio - except for the conspicuous empty table to my right, which bore a RESERVED sign, unusual for Birdland. After the pianist finished his forty-five-minute set, a party of four men and a woman settled in at the table, rather clamorously, three waiters swooping in quickly to take their orders as a ripple of whispers and exclamations ran through Birdland at the sight of one of the men, Igor Stravinsky. He was a celebrity, and an icon to jazz fans because he sanctified modern jazz by composing Ebony Concerto for Woody Herman and his Orchestra (1946) - a Covarrubias "Impossible Interview" come true.

Stravinsky roared with delight, pounding his glass on the table, the upward arc of the glass sending its liquor and ice cubes onto the people behind him, who threw up their hands or ducked.

Great to see DB mentioned anywhere, I managed to see him at ATP but must admit to not ‘getting it’ at the time, since then have heard Standards, Ballads and the first Arcana record are all amazing. 🤘
‘Did he really play on Petula Clark’s Downtown?’ Stewart Lee on his guitar hero Derek Bailey
He was a genius of improvised music, a performer who abandoned composition – and wondered why anyone would buy his records. Comedian Stewart Lee celebrates the eccentric life of his great inspiration
