Birdland, New York; December 8, 1950:
Thanks to goody for sharing the tracks at Dime.
goody noted:
It seems likely that this set was recorded after midnight on December 16 or 23. Bud Powell’s trio may have been replaced by the Parker quintet, since during this period Powell’s behavior was erratic and unreliable. The closing announcement [’Don’t forget, the Bird, Charlie Parker, Red Rodney, Art Blakey, will be here at the usual (undecipherable) until the first of the year…’] suggests that Parker may have continued at Birdland until late in December; if so, it may be that the Christmas engagement in Philadelphia was canceled.

Everyone is prejudiced. Including you! Prejudices are useful, because they help you keep things simple. But they can also influence the way we behave towards certain people, and that can be dangerous. Fortunately, there is something you can do. Below, we describe the three steps you can take.
The first and most important step in the fight against everyday prejudices is to recognize them, and to acknowledge that we are all affected by them. Everyone has definite ideas about certain groups of people that never apply to all members of that group. If you are, and remain, aware of this fact, you have already taken the biggest step.
The second step is to try to make sure that your own prejudices do not determine your behavior. Prejudice should never lead to exclusion or discrimination against others. Also, make sure that you do not spread your own prejudices.
Step three: react! If someone around you hurts other people, insults entire groups, or uses prejudice to define them, react. Oppose them! React in your own circle of friends and acquaintances, respond on social media.
