Customer Review:

I am an elementary school music teacher with students ranging from pre-K to 5th grade. I read this book to all of my pre-K and kindergarten through second grade classes and sometimes the mood strikes me to read it to older students. There is something in here for most every age. Everyone loves... more info

The Omni Book in C...
I play guitar, classic and electric. I bought this book to help me improvise jazz, and learn jazz standards. My problem reading the tricky rhythms well, but I've now gotten over that and im just flying through this book at slower tempos. I LOVE how they include references... more info

Bird Lives!: The High Life And Hard Times Of Charlie (yardbird) Parker
from Da Capo Press
Price: $12.21

Customer Review:

I've read hundreds of jazz histories, and Ross Russell's original classic, "Bird Lives!", remains among my favorite. I read it again this week, in fact. Are there more thorough Parker biographies? Well, sure. But Ross Russell was there. He created Dial Records for the purposes of recording Parker.... more info

Charlie Parker for Guitar: Note-for-Note Transcriptions and Detailed Performance Notes for 18 Bebop Classics
from Hal Leonard Corporation
Price: $16.95

Customer Review:

I have been working with this book for a few months now. If you're looking to rip some licks or to learn the heads of his tunes without being able to read standard notation then this book is for you. I definately recommend a more comprehensive study of Parker's tunes if you're interested in this... more info

Customer Review:

This is the only book that I have read about Parker. So I can't compare it to other works. BUT it is a very enjoyable read. As the cover states there are extensive interviews with people who knew him best, including various ex-wives. Various incidents that are in the movie are described here, so I... more info

Charlie Parker Omnibook Bass-Clef
from Alfred Publishing Company
Price: $14.95

Customer Review:

This book really helps you appreciate what a master of jazz Charlie Parker really was. Seeing all of these solos with the chord changes right above sometimes makes you wonder "How did he think to do that?"
I like using this book for sight reading practice and a little bit of analysis... more info

Charlie Parker Omnibook: Transposed for B Flat Instruments
from Alfred Publishing Company
Price: $14.65

Customer Review:

This book has long been known as the bible of bebop. However, I STRONGLY recommend that saxophone players buy the Eb edition. This Bb edition, transposed for obvious reasons, does not work well for tenor sax. It goes beyond the instrument's range, and it's just plain awkward to play. Unless you are... more info

Christiansen's book focuses on a few key concepts that one sees over and over in bebop, particularly in the music of Charlie Parker. Some examples include scales used over major, minor, and dominant chords; use of approach and "target" notes; and motifs such as the 3 to b9 interval.

This is the most accurate and thorough book on Charlie Parker's music, and contains an excellent, concise account of his life. Unfortunately, my textbook supplier says it's out of print.

Here's a perfect short critical biography of one of the finest and most influential musicians in America's--and the world's--history.
