Genius is a mystery.
Where the heck does it come from?
This interview comes as close to revealing the source of Phil’s “majesty” (a term he once used to describe fellow scholar Dan Morganstern that certainly applies to Phil too.)

You didn’t think that we’d do a week of Phil Schaap without sampling one of his hundreds (thousands?) of hours of programs on the music of Charlie Parker?
Every weekday for an hour plus for many, many years, Phil did a program called “Bird Flight” dedicated to the life and times of Charlie Parker.
Here Phil plays and gives background to Parker’s trailblazing work with Machito and Mario Bauza.

Phil Schaap was THE great champion of jazz.
Among his countless contributions to the music, he managed and promoted the Countsmen, former sidemen of Count Basie’s and other distinguished big band alumni.
Phil never shined as brightly when he was championing the career of Eddie Durham, one of the geniuses from that era. If you listen to no other Phil programs, make sure you catch this one.
