It’s doubtful that you’ll learn much about Charlie Parker from this poorly made documentary. None of the people interviewed are named. Chan and Doris tell a few stories. Diz relates some memories. There are some random acted sections that contribute nothing. There is a 4 min tap dance scene to Yardbird Suite by an unidentified dancer. There’s Diz and Bird doing Hot House at the Downbeat awards which you can watch on YouTube.

Celebrating Bird is a better documentary to watch.
