Director Clint Eastwood, a noted jazz aficionado, directs this heartfelt study of pioneering bop saxophonist Charlie Parker (Forest Whitaker). Moving forward and backward through Parker's brief life before his death of a heroin overdose at age 34, the film foregrounds the saxophonist's difficult relationship with his wife, Chan Parker (Diane Venora), but also features lengthy scenes of Parker improvising on stage, lit with the neon and cigarette smoke of vintage jazz clubs.

Clint Eastwood en jazz? Het is lastig voorstelbaar, maar de latere Dirty Harry speelde op z’n vijftiende al jazzpiano en zag Charlie Parker bij een Jazz at the Philharmonic-optreden. Bird is Eastwoods eerbetoon aan de geniale voorman van de bebop.
