For over a century, jazz music has
continued to be a living, breathing entity. To date, the music itself
has defended itself admirably against those self-appointed guardians of
last year's blues who would compartmentalize jazz as swing, bebop,
cool, avant-garde, etc. Rather than hearing jazz as a sequence of
separate styles, it is important to hear its continuity across time.
Jazz is always on the cusp, always searching, always ready to
incorporate a new discovery into the body of work that preceded it.
There is no radical break between swing and bebop, between bebop and
cool, between the early New Orleans styles and the avant-garde group
improvisations of the 1960s. The music exists on a continuum.

explains:
"the bird sang the pretty lick Jimmy Hamilton plays on clarinet.
He sang it all the time Billy Strayhorn was in his room. Then, when
Strayhorn left,
the bird sounded the low raspberry you hear at the end of the
recording.
Incidentally, there is no pianist to be heard on this. He was busy
conducting."
