Ornithology - Charlie Parker

I was introduced to jazz (REALLY introduced) by a college friend who was an amazing saxophonist. She would share these wonderful,  tragic stories about jazz legends and would let me listen to recordings of their playing.

One of these musicians was Charlie Parker, a musician known for his influence in shaping Bebop, a rattling heroin addiction, and his skill at the sax. (An avid student of classical music, Parker was also a fan of Igor Stravinsky.)

Happy listening!
