Charlie Parker at 100: the Sound and the Myth
This speculative essay by J. D. Considine traces the personal and musical history of Charlie Parker and his various lifestyle and musical influences on future generations. The conclusion, a quote from Vincent Herring, says it all: “The music continues to evolve, and regardless of where it goes, Charlie Parker will always be one of the cornerstones of the music.”
