This marked the beginning of a tumultuous two year-stint for Bird bumming around L.A., showing up at jam sessions, crashing on people's couches, causing havoc in public places, and recording some of his most groundbreaking tracks, "A Night in Tunisia" and "Ornithology," as well as "Relaxin' At Camarillo," inspired by the end of his time in SoCal at the Camarillo State Hospital. The novel explores Bird's relationship with the characters and events he encountered during his time in L.A. including recording some of his signature songs with Dial Record founder Ross Russell, a brief but influential stay at the home of famed jazz photographer William Claxton, a party for the ages at the ranch home of artist Jirayr Zorthian, and others who found themselves in the orbit of the jazz genius. Chasin' the Bird is named for Charlie Parker's 1947 standard, and adapts one of the sunnier, but darker chapters in the life of Bird, beautifully told by Dave Chisholm. 650 4 $a Graphic novel. 600 10 $a Parker, Charlie, $d 1920-1955 $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Saxophonists $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Jazz musicians $x Alcohol use $v Comic books, strips, etc. 650 0 $a Racism $z United States $v Comic books, strips, etc. 651 0 $a California $x History $y 20th century $v Comic books, strips, etc. 655 7 $a Graphic novels. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Comics (Graphic works) $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Abdul-Jabbar, Kareem, $d 1947- $e writer of foreward. 700 1 $a Markowski, Peter $c (Illustrator), $e colorist. 941 $a 4 952 $l KAPF566 $d 20230331014202.0 952 $l NYPE343 $d 20221202012109.0 952 $l WSPF215 $d 20210202021942.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20201230010106.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A9EC20004A6C11EBA705A6345BECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
