    Loved it.
  

*by T***Z on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on October 9, 2022*

I am now a fan of Dave Chisolm - so much love and effort obviously went into this book and I couldn't have enjoyed it more.

    AWESOME Graphic Novel (!!!!!)
  

*by T***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 31, 2021*

I am a HUGE lifelong fan of Charlie (Bird) Parker and his music. This is a genius and phenomenal graphic novel that communicates Bird's musical brilliance; his passionate unstable life while in California in 1945; and all his high points and low points where Bird and the great Dizzy Gillespie brought bebop, an exciting new jazz art form, to the West Coast.This poignant and powerful book explodes with dramatic images and breathtaking color as only comic book sensation Dave Chisholm can deliver as it chronicles Bird and his adventures in Los Angles.Chasin' The Bird delivers Bird's powerful blazing sax stylings during jam sessions in visual form along with interesting antidotes of his life during this crucial and creative time - including crashing on people's couches like a homeless college kid, raising havoc in public places, and recording some of his most groundbreaking trailblazing including "A Night in Tunisia."But this book is not some boring biography that puts you to sleep.If you are familiar with the many graphic novels of comic-book icon Dave Chisholm, who is slowly taking over the mantle of comic book genius Alan Moore, you know by now that Chisholm has a unique ability to transport readers to visual worlds never experienced.Chasin' The Bird fuses powerful spectacular images with magnificent and stunning splashes of vibrant color to explore the mind, emotions, experiences and craft of Bird in an extremely creative way. It is the brilliant visual images of this graphic novel that deeply examine Bird's relationships, interesting characters surrounding him during his time in LA, and pivotal events and experiences he encountered to make him the sensational musical icon Bird is today.Run, do not walk, to buy this book today! FIVE STARS!!!!

    Artist integrity, intent, and a vibe like no other ... I dig!
  

*by G***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 2, 2021*

What a beautiful and thoughtful publication!Through the lens of a true artist/educator - Dave Chisholm, with Peter Markowski, filled every possible inch of these pages with artistic intent and a truly intoxicating vibe. This "graphic novel" masterfully captures glimpses of Charlie Parker's life in CA and does so in such a hip, real, and dark way...After you enjoy each thoughtfully written page - be sure to go back through to soak in the countless artistic nuances that tell just as much of the story as the text does.I can't wait for Dave + Peter to release another!
