works,
for me, are the live recordings of his solos that Dean Benedetti made in 
joints
on a reel to reel recorder following Bird all over the country. Released on
Mosaic, it is full of squeaks, bad sound, etc. However, for me, what Bird say
via the horn on them is an incredible piece of musical history as well as a
great listen and insight into his incredible genius. >>

To me this is appaling unmusical crap produced by a demented follower of one 
of the overrated musicians in the history of jazz music. 

Just an opinion :-)
