The Bird's significance to African American history and culture is both sonic and social. Sonically, The Bird was an epicenter of creative expression and schoolhouse of the Detroit sound. The musicians, including leaders in modern music, like Charlie Parker and Miles Davis who made regular appearances in the 1950s, explored rhythm, melody, and improvisation on a platform that foregrounded Detroit's commitment to serious listening. Local musicians, such as \"drumist\" Roy Brooks and saxophonist Wendell Harrison, who both attended nearby Northwestern High School, apprenticed at The Bird, learning the \"Detroit way\" to communicate with audiences and fellow musicians. In the city that gave the world Motown, jazz is the teacher; the Bird was the institute. Socially, The Bird was a hearth of the Black community. Black workers and their families could relax, commune, engage, express and listen. Despite discriminatory policies and neighborhood disinvestment, The Bird survived for eight decades as a lounge for freedom. Through neglect, the Bird fell into vacancy and foreclosure. In 2018, DSC worked with the City of Detroit to purchase the historic property.
