Marc Myers has triumphed, again, with a one hour video produced by BBC about
the life of Charlie Parker.  Not sure when it was broadcast but has lots of
views of Parker, Dizzy and others.

Also comments from late British bandleader John Dankworth, many fellow
musicians including Jay McShann, and critics/historians  Nat Hentoff,
Leonard Feather, Chuck Haddix, and Gary Giddins.  Also, below that,   one
may see a story and video on Duke Ellington and/or boogie woogie  pianist
Pinetop Perkins.
