This is the only live footage of Bird known to exist. The other videos on this page were filmed while the musicians were miming to prerecorded tracks, standard practice in that era. Watch to get the full effect of Earl Wilson’s dated and cringe-worthy patter with Leonard Feather before Bird and Diz are brought on, and dig Bird’s virtuoso put-down and raised eyebrow. As the band performs “Hothouse” you can see that Bird’s posture, breathing and finger position are PERFECT.
