Paperback. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. BIRD LIVES! The High Life and Hard Times of Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker. Ross Russell. Quartet Books, London 1973 First edition ISBN 070433059 406pp Illustrated Paperback. This copy is in fine condition bound in linen finish purple card covers with a price clipped dustwrapper that has a little edge wear and is sunned to the spine but is still in fine condition. Charles "Charlie" Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 ? March 12, 1955), also known as "Yardbird" and "Bird",was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Miles Davis once said, "You can tell the history of jazz in four words: Louis Armstrong. Charlie Parker." Parker was a highly influential jazz soloist and a leading figure in the development of bebop, a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique, and improvisation. Parker introduced revolutionary harmonic ideas, including rapid passing chords, new variants of altered chords, and chord substitutions. His tone ranged from clean and penetrating to sweet and somber. Many Parker recordings demonstrate his virtuoso playing style and complex melodic lines, sometimes combining jazz with other musical genres, including blues, Latin, and classical. Parker acquired the nickname "Yardbird" early in his career and the shortened form, "Bird", which continued to be used for the rest of his life, inspired the titles of a number of Parker compositions, such as "Yardbird Suite", "Ornithology", "Bird Gets the Worm", and "Bird of Paradise." Parker was an icon for the hipster subculture and later the Beat Generation, personifying the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual, rather than an entertainer. Ref Z2.
