HI, this is Steve Fly. Due to technical challenges at Radio Free Amsterdam and JohnSinclair.us I’ve decided to host these special shows crafted by John Sinclair.
This one in honor of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Charlie Parker. Please stay tuned, we’ll return with usual programming asap. Love, Steve.
–Radio Free Amsterdam.

Episode 878 is coming as usual this year from Radio Free Amsterdam’s Detroit headquarters in the Cass Corridor where I’m featuring another hour of music from Charlie Parker in honor of the 100^th aniversary of his birth on August 29, 1920 in Kansas City. Our third hour of Bird features music recorded for Norman Granz’s releases on the Norgran, Mercury & Verve labels in the early 1950s.
