Title: Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie – Bird And Diz (The Genius of Charlie Parker) Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1950, Jazz, Bebop, New York City, New York Matrix #: V6-8006 Condition: EX
Cultural Facts:
Scene Ecology: Cut in the after-hours Manhattan ecosystem where bebop was still a living argument, not a museum style, with musicians battling for ideas and rent money.
Media Narrative: Parker’s legend was built while he was alive, with critics framing him as both genius and cautionary tale, feeding a myth machine that followed him to the end.
Personal Struggle: Parker’s addictions and mental health crises were severe; he cycled through hospitalizations and instability, and he died in 1955 at 34, with his body so worn down the coroner reportedly misjudged his age as much older.

★★★★★
This place is a little tucked away but easy to find. Though it’s not a big shop, it has a great selection of records at great prices! The guy who helped me out at the counter was friendly and really helpful! If I were in the area again, I would definitely go back.
★★★★★
Power plant records is the best! Great selection of vinyl, the owner and staff are super cool and one of the best things about them are the local shows they put on at Stuft Pizza to support local punk bands like Repeater and Simulator (aka Current Location).
