CHARLIE PARKER: BIRD SONGS
Directed by Jean-Frédéric Thibault
In 1955, on his report, a medical examiner wrote in the box: age, “about 53 years”. Charlie Parker nicknamed Bird just died, at 34. His death will be the ransom of a life that was not denied to the excesses or the consuming flame of genius.
