Charlie Parker and Coleman Hawkins play together (with Ray Brown and Buddy Rich)

By Jack Brummet, Jazz Ed.

Two favorites performing together. . .with Ray Brown (whom I got to see just once; Bird died when I was two years old, and Hawkins died just a few years before I got into jazz). Not quite so sure about Buddy Rich—I'm not a fan of his over the top drum attacks or his notorious treatment of young band members on the road. Check out his rants here: http://youtu.be/omID1prJHFo).
