Now that's a name from my past -- when I was at KCR I did some news casts during his Jazz program.

Unless his web site is Phil Schaap.Com please post the link to his site.

And as an FYI; Phil was also considered the best at Sports Trivia at KCR.

I can't find any website for him, but I figured that if there was Bird video, he would know about it. Birdflight is still a great listen on the morning commute.

Doesn't surprise me about the trivia- must run in the family

Phil Schapp still does a Charlie Parker show every morning on WKCR, and Out to Lunch from Noon to Three.

Judd- I don't think there is other Parker footage, unless it has been found recently. I haven't seen it.

Rich- I guess you went to Columbia. I think the website is www.wkcr.org.

JAZZ....one of my favorite subjects. During my College days in the late '50s (and early '60s), many of our evenings
were at the famous Jazz "hang out"....BIRDLAND. I was fortunate to see and hear such greats as......

Duke Ellington
Hoagy Carmichael
George Shearing
Dizzy Gillespie
Gerry Mulligan
Lionel Hampton
Count Basie
Dave Brubeck Quartet (Paul Desmond, Joe Morello, Eugene Wright)
Jack Teagarden (across Times Square at his Metropole)
and,
the mesmerizing Gene Krupa

It was the best of times to live near New York....be a Yankees fan....love Jazz.

I love Jack Teagarden...ever see the film of Jack and Louis Armstrong singing "Rocking Chair?"

Check out Jack Teagarden's cover of Stars Fell on Alabama. More cooler no can get.

Wild Bill Davison or Zoot Sims anyone?

My favorite jazz memory is seeing Sonny Rollins at Blues Alley in DC in '89 - went up from college my senior year without the then girlfriend (I think the quote was 'why would you want to do that?'). Great show and got a chance afterwards to sit down and talk to him for about 5-10 minutes. Priceless.
