JOHN SINCLAIR RADIO SHOW 1053 – BIRD FLIES SOUTH & EAST
Episode 1053 is coming from our temporary Radio Free Amsterdam headquarters in my daughter Sunny’s house in Eastpointe MI with an hour of music by Charlie Parker called Bird Flies South & East, featuring recordings with Latin jazz ensembles and string orchestras from right around the turn of the mid-20th century in honor of the passing of Bird on March 12, 1955. In 2022 we celebrated the centenary of Parker’s birth on August 26, 1922 and now we commemorate his passing at the age of 34, on the same day Jack Kerouac was born in 1926.

JOHN SINCLAIR RADIO SHOW 885 – HOT HOUSE
Episode 885 is coming once again from the Center for the Study of World Religions at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts where I’m featuring a fifth and final hour of music from Charlie Parker in honor of the 100th aniversary of his birth in Kansas City on August 29, 1920. This hour features music Bird recorded for Norman Granz releases on the Norgran, Mercury & Verve labels in the first half of the 1950s, and several cuts from what’s called “The Greatest Jazz Concert of All Time” at Massey Hall in Toronto with Bird, Dizzy, Bud Powell, Mingus & Max Roach on May 15, 1953. Bird passed away at the age of 34 just two years later, on March 12, 1955. Bird lives!
