Eh Chas, Ol' Dirty was me mistakenly replying with a testing ID. You would have blushed to see what his email ID actually was, before I caught my mistake and fixed the faux pas.

The Charlie Parker tempos I gave are accurate beats per minute counts in 4/4 time. Bird is mostly blowing eighth note lines with brief eighth-note triplet and sixteenth note embellishments, so he's playing an average of 600 notes per minute on "KoKo".
