Inspired by Charlie Parker
Playlist - 15 Songs
Parker launched bebop in the '40s, and his stylistic bravery gave future generations a template for experimentation. Ornette Coleman's tart, soulful alto-sax cries on tracks like “Bird Food” are firmly rooted in the Parker lineage, while modern-day alto sax players like Steve Coleman draw on Bird's innovative style with tracks like “Tempest”, merging classical harmony and jazz invention.
