Philadelphia Clef Club of Jazz & Performing Arts Film Series: BIRD

Philadelphia Clef Club
736 S. Broad Street, Philadelphia, PA 19146

Co-presented with the Philadelphia Clef Club and part of Jazz Appreciation Month. The tragically short and troubled life of visionary jazz saxophonist Charlie “Yardbird” Parker is brought to the screen by award-winning director and jazz connoisseur Clint Eastwood. For his portrayal of Parker, whose inner demons and wild substance abuse silenced his musical genius at age 34, Forest Whitaker won the best actor prize at the Cannes Film Festival. Enter to win two FREE tickets to see Charlie Parker’s YARDBIRD (select dates in June) at the screening.
