Comment:

Charlie Parker was just 34 when he died, but he packed more mind-blowing innovation into his too-brief time on our planet than almost anyone else ever managed in twice as many years. Bebop was his baby, and it blew jazz wide open, altering everything forevermore, from phrasing to harmony. More than half a century after Parker’s passing, it’s impossible to imagine a world without Bird, and the trail of superhuman sonic feats he left behind remains as daunting and dazzling as ever. From his Latin journey with Machito on “No Noise” to his symphonic swing on the orchestra-backed “Just Friends” — not to mention evergreens like “Grooving High” and “Salt Peanuts” — we’ve built a Bird house full of his most phenomenal flights.
