| [00:01.35] | I told that story about how Charlie Parker became Charlie Parker,right? |
| [00:05.06] | Jo Jones threw a cymbal at his head. |
| [00:06.27] | Exactly. |
| [00:08.45] | Parker was a young kid, pretty good on the sax. |
| [00:10.60] | Gets up to play in the cutting session. |
| [00:11.95] | |
| [00:13.35] | And Jones nearly decapitates him for it,and he's laughed off-stage. |
| [00:19.47] | |
| [00:19.53] | Cried himself to sleep that night,but the next morning,what does he do? |
| [00:22.77] | He practices,and he practices and he practices,with one goal in mind. |
| [00:29.38] | Never to be laughed at again. |
| [00:31.64] | And a year later he goes back to the Reno, |
| [00:35.30] | and he steps up on the stage and he play the best solo the world has never heard. |
| [00:41.64] | |
| [00:44.75] | So imagine if Jones just said,"well,that's ok Charlie, that was alright, good job". |
| [00:51.98] | |
| [00:53.70] | And Charlie thinks to himself "well, I did a pretty good job". |
| [00:56.88] | |
| [00:58.09] | End of story. No bird. |
| [01:00.08] | |
| [01:03.02] | That to me is an absolute tragedy.But that's just what the world wants now. |
| [01:10.22] | People wonder why Jazz is dying. |
| [01:13.18] | |
| [01:15.30] | I tell you, man. |
| [01:16.55] | Every Starbucks' Jazz album just proved my point, really. |
| [01:21.90] | There are no two words in English language more harmful than "good job"! |
