In case of fire...play bebop‏

• 
  

Trumpet player Red Rodney joined
the Charlie Parker Quintet in 1949.

Filling Dizzy's and Miles' shoes was 
no easy feat, but he did it.

Later in life, he overcame career
ending personal problems to 
return to the music with his
full creative powers - and joie de vivre
- intact as this video shows. 

Bop lives...
