Charlie Parker - Ko Ko

“Koko” is taken at a headlong pace, close to 300 on the metronome. “Koko” is “Cherokee”, arrived in discography from the green curtain on Olive Street, by way of Minton's, the Savoy, the Apollo Theater, band routes. Twin sides of a medal, “Koko” and “Now's the Time” remind us of the duality found in all of Parker's work. “Now's the Time” is cool, nocturnal, bluesy. “Koko” is tense and aggressive, very sure, a piece of astonishing and reckless virtuosity: sixty-four bars of difficult changes, saxophone playing to end saxophone playing - to castrate all other saxophonists. But “Koko” is not the kind of music one wishes to hear often. It is disturbing, in the way that some of Schoenberg is disturbing. One can listen to “Now's the Time”, over and over again, always with pleasure.
