His daughter Pree was born in 1951 with a number of birth defects and died at age 2. Parker attempted suicide twice in the months after and his health declined rapidly. His stamina and energy were gone.

Same thing happened to my friend from Vancouver in Seattle. They’ve begun expunging minor weed violations From border crossing records and you can also request it now. Something to look into if you’d like to visit again. He said it was pretty easy to contact them Actually. Just fyi...

Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look into it. It would be great just to see an NFL game live and find some good barbecue.
Had about 90 minutes to listen on headphones so I decided to fill it with some boppin' jive. Babs Gonzales "Tales of Manhattan" Followed by Babs Gonzales "Voila!"
Man, I can't think of this young jazz trumpet player. He made only one album I believe. He died in a hospital at a very young age. It was some kind of crazy rare disease that killed him, too. Sometime in the '60s. I have his album, too. It is very good. I can't remember this cat's name. .
Blue Mitchell - Blue Soul (Original Jazz Classics OJCCD-765-2) One of the most overlooked Riverside album of the era. Great hard Bop 1959 session. Love the work of the rhythm section of Wynton Kelly, Sam Jones and Philly Joe Jones.
John Coltrane - John Coltrane With Johnny Hartman (Impulse! UCCU-40113) Trane and Hartman are both sounding very good but it`s McCoy Tyner`s session. His work on piano is amazing. Playing the UHQCD, the best sounding version I know.
I think my PC is spying on me and reading my mind. Few hours ago I misread "Blues" as "Bulls" and thought about the song by Rage Against The Machine. But that was just a thought. Now, just five minutes ago I opened Youtube and got this in recommended videos. This video actually is awesome, but... how?!
