Grachan Moncur III talks his first encounter with Charlie Parker.

Free jazz trombonist Grachan Moncur III shares the story of his first meeting with "Bird" featured with the "Stan Kenton Orchestra" on a Saturday night in Durham North, Carolina.

After speaking with a road weary Charlie Parker before the show, Grachan was in for the surprise of his life when Bird emerged to deliver an exemplary performance.

That's how we grow.

Thanks!
