Details: This poster is of a black and white photo of Charlie Parker by Ted Williams. It shows him playing the saxophone. At the bottom it says 'The Ted William's Collection, Charlie Parker at The Bee Hive, Chicago 1953.'
Charles Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Parker, with Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington, is largely considered one of the most influential of jazz musicians. Parker acquired the nickname Yardbird early in his career, and the shortened form Bird remained Parker's sobriquet for the rest of his life, inspiring the titles of a number of Parker compositions, such as Yardbird Suite, Ornithology and Bird of Paradise. Parker played a leading role in the development of bebop, a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique, and improvisation based on harmonic structure. Parker's innovative approaches to melody, rhythm, and harmony exercised enormous influence on his contemporaries.
