Report #46

This week's poem, "Driving home through rain after the bars closed," is by David Blaine from his book Antisocial (OW Press, 2009). I wrote a review of this book that you can read at IndieBookMan.

Music this week was chosen due to the reference in David's poem: "As Bird blew be-bop / the wipers slapped / and he cranked some heat / dispelling an autumn chill." From The Legendary Dial Masters, I play two songs by Charlie Parker: "Be-bop" and "A Night in Tunisia." The first tune features Parker on alto sax, Howard McGee on trumpet, Jimmy Bunn on piano, Bob Kesterson on bass, and Roy Porter on drums. The second features Parker on alto, Miles Davis on trumpet, Lucky Thompson on tenor sax, Dodo Mamarosa on piano, Arv Garrison on guitar, Vic McMillan on bass and Roy Porter on drums.
