You never have to be shy around here.
Yes, Michel has the correct answer, as is often the case. Russell caught Bird’s wrath when he released the famous Lover Man set. Thank goodness, right? It’s such a wrenching, raw performance.
I know there was a lot of controversy about Bird Lives because some people had problems with Russell’s accuracy, but I still find it to be a quite compelling book and pretty well written compared to many other jazz bios.
