Charles Parker, Jr., b. 29 August 1920, d. 12 March 1955. An absolute genius, who woodshedded like hell to become one of the greatest sax players ever (Greatest alto player ever? Could be.) & still died long before his time. Max Roach, w/ whom Bird often jammed & recorded, just passed a couple of weeks ago.A Virgo. (So what.) Named Charles. Went by a diminutive of Charles, Charlie. Only child. And that's about where the similarities w/ Just Another Blog's™ editor end. (The Editor goes by another diminutive of Charles, & it ain't "Chuck!" And he did learn most of "Louie Louie" on the soprano in college. Now there was some honkin'!!)
Music available here.
Hideous UPDATE: Today is also Michael Jackson's B-Day (1958). The less said the better.
