Customer Review: My baby and her cousin (aged 5 months and 12 months, respectively) LOVED this book. Now, all you have to say to either of them is, "BEEEE BOP!" and they grin hugely.
Customer Review: 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
Customer Review: I have to agree with the other one star review posted here. This is a poorly written flat biography by an author who exploited Bird during his life and apparently exploited him after his death also. This book is all about larger than life stories and has very little to do with trying to understand... 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
Customer Review: Even as a Classical musician, I find great joy in this book. Yes, saxophonists would do better to get the E-flat edition, since that was Parker's axe and everything works better.

The character of Charlie Parker seems like the type... more info
Customer Review: A lot of fun to play along and learn with professional sounds. A must if you ever want to play Parker with others. It is not easy to play his stuff in time, for a long time.
Customer Review: Charlie Parker and her new husband Drake have the perfect plan for a honeymoon. He will fly helicopter charters in the Taos ski area and they will stay at the family cabin of Eloy Romero who will be working for Drake. They set off with high hopes but soon they are embroiled in a murder case when... more info
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 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
