Bird Lives! tells the incredible story of how Charlie "Yardbird" Parker, a man who, in spite of the difficulties and tragedies of his own life, was able to create a music so rare, beautiful, and revolutionary that it gave hope and possibilities to the people of the world.
Parker is best remembered as a leading figure in the development of bebop, a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique and improvisation, combining jazz with other musical genres, including Latin, blues and classical. Parker is to Jazz what Elvis is to Rock and Roll; a forefather of a new style of music that caught on and took the world by storm.
Starring Darryl Alan Reed, Directed by Tommy Hicks and Written by Willard Manus the creative team includes: Ernest Gardiner, Jr, Scenic Designer; LuzTapia Gaitan, Light Designer; Marcus Norris, Sound Designer and Shawn Warren, Muralist.
