Great insight into the life of the legendary sax man from Kansas City. This documentary features a lot of archival footage along with rate interviews w/Parker's first wife, Rebecca Davis Parker, along with bandleader Jay McShann, Dizzy Gillespie, Roy Hanes, Leonard Feather, Roy Porter, Frank Morgan and Bird's New York companion, Chan Parker. Understanding the life lends much to understanding the emotion behind the music. If your a jazz fan, this is a documentary you will want to see.
