Once again Youtube’s basic compression can’t handle Bird’s 16th notes. Watch it at 720p for a better experience. Charlie hits some hilariously good phrases i…

    I just happened to be in the mood for some Bird, and then, for some reason,
    I looked him up on Wikipedia and saw that he died 57 years ago today. RIP
    to a great genius!

  2. Andrea Manenti says:

    I think that those notes are the actual notes that he’s playing. (I mean
    that if you wanna play it with an Alto you have to transpose C to Eb ecc..)

  3. Alex Mayweather says:

    i think he does to encourage you to buy the book. and also i think someone
    who can transcribe this probably knows how people read music. so why dont
    you troll somewhere else

    Despite this being music notation, I think anyone can watch this and enjoy
    it 🙂

    it would be nice if the video came earlyer ( like one bar or so ) then the
    audio…

    I got Miles but couldn’t see Bird (Confirmation)..It’s quite an experience
    watching the actual notes come to life. 

  7. Federica guido says:

    But why is the sheet music in G? I’d like to study the original solo, in F,
    but it’s nowhere to be found T.T

  8. Syd Potter says:

    Whoever creates these needs to realize that people do not read music (or
    words!) in such a compressed visual area. I mean we need to see MORE of the
    notes (or words if we are reading text) in a glance in order to fully
    ‘read’ it. We do not read one note (or letter) at a time but rather in
    GROUPS. Hopefully the author of these little things will read this message
    and correct the next ones he does to make for a much more enjoyable
    experience

    I agree with Syd. This would be more valuable to musicians if you could
    see, say four bars at at time. Musicians don’t sight read right on the edge
    like that — or if they do, they get in trouble really fast.

  10. Aj Nester says:

    It’s cool that you keep the focus on one spot. You see what you are hearing
    right at that moment without the eye having to track the music as a
    musician does when reading. One simple thing you might try for the
    musicians who have a hard time with it is to offset the music so that it is
    just behind the visuals. Musicians always have to be reading ahead. These
    things must be a bear to create, though.. Hat’s off to your hard work!!

    I like this animation. I feel like I am seeing the sounds coming out as
    Bird plays. I understand what people are saying when it is moving to fast,
    but I feel as if this is meant more to show the viewer what is coming out
    in the moment. Just like the Synesthetic classical pieces with the colors.
