I happen to be in LA for a few days, so I paid a quick visit to one of the most star-studded cemeteries, Westwood Village Memorial Park.

By the way, the sod over John Cassavetes' and Lady Rowlands' side-by-side graves was obviously different than the rest of the lawn, as if their plot had recently been opened and then re-covered. So I'm positive that Gena Rowlands is buried there next to her husband and her mother, even though there's no marker for her yet.

Charlie Parker watching Dizzy Gillespie perform in New York, circa 1947.

( English /Español)

It is said that Charlie Parker once said: "I couldn't stand the stereotypical harmonies that anyone was playing at the time. I kept thinking there must be something different. Sometimes I could hear it but I couldn't play it...".

"Yes, that night I improvised for a long time on "Cherokee". As I did so I realised that, by using the upper intervals of the harmonies as a melodic line and placing new harmonies more or less in tune underneath, I could suddenly play what I had heard inside me for so long. I was filled with life.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Se cuenta que una ocasión dijo Charlie Parker: "ya no aguantaba más las armonías estereotipadas que cualquiera tocaba entonces. No paraba de pensar que debía de haber algo diferente. A veces lo podia oir pero no lo podía tocar..."

"Si, esa noche improvisé durante mucho tiempo sobre "Cherokee". Mientras lo hacía me di cuenta de que, al utilizar los intervalos superiores de las armonías como línea melódica colocando debajo armonías nuevas más o menos afinadas, podía tocar de repente aquello que por tanto tiempo había oído dentro de mi. Me llené de vida.
