Talk:Birdland (New York jazz club)

message: The Blakey A Night at Birdland albums originally appeared as 3 10"LPs and in the 1970s a third 12"LP volume of unissued material surfaced. As the recording was only available briefly as three volumes on two occasions, I have chosen to ignore this inconvenient fact in order to avoid an unnecessarily convoluted explanation.

message: Miranda Sings is an external link under "See Also" at the bottom of the page.  I think this is vandalism but I don't entirely trust my judgment on that because it's been on the page since some time last year, so I didn't remove it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by O'Hush (talk • contribs) 16:58, 20 April 2010 (UTC)

message: FWIW....I have no idea about the veracity of the following article which I've lifted from Yahoo Answers, but it asserts that Ray Charles was part of the Seattle WA jazz scene which featured a club named "Birdland".  I included the link where the assertion is made followed by the relevant text.

I think if you dig a little deeper, you'll find that "Birdland" was actually a R&B Club on Jackson St. in Seattle, WA. 
Most people had no idea there was a jumpin’ jazz scene down on Jackson Street from the 1920s through the 1950s, but during the boom years around World War II, more than 30 nightclubs sprang up along Jackson. There were segregated musicians' unions. White musicians played in uptown ballrooms while black musicians mainly found work in small after-hours nightclubs along Jackson Street. It was here that up-and-coming jazz stars like Quincy Jones, Ernestine Anderson and Ray Charles got their start.In the mid-1950s, certain local young jazz musicians like Frank Roberts took up R&B, and jazz spots started to have R&B nights. The club "Birdland" began to feature national acts, local R&B, a house band led by Dave Lewis, and jam sessions that were popular with top local players. The club became the center of a horn-and keyboard-heavy R&B sound that eventually became the soul of Northwest rock.  IMHO, the lyric speaks for itself...she could party all night long at "The Birdland".  Source:http://www.ci.seattle.wa.us/music/histor...

message: The article seems to have some errors in it - sections from Mike Stern down to Jimmy Cobb seem like they should be in the Notable Performers section instead of having individual Sections. I didn't add that content though and don't want to change it, maybe someone else knows what should be done. Thanks.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dhorowitz (talk • contribs) 23:11, 17 January 2018 (UTC)
