Charlie
Parker and Thematic Improvisation (Studies in Jazz, No. 24)
by Henry Martin
Book Description: Martin provides a new overall assessment of
the importance of Charlie Parker through an analysis of his improvisations
in a variety of genres. Earlier studies of Parker argue that his style
is based on an extensive network of melodic formulas that are combined
to create solos. Because the same formulas appear throughout his improvisations
regardless of the theme, these studies concluded that the solos do not
usually relate to the original melodies. "Charlie Parker and Thematic Improvisation"
provides a much-needed reassessment by showing that Parker's solos are
often related to the original themes in unexpected and sometimes ingenious
ways. The conclusion sums up features of Parker's style and discusses his
contribution in the context of Western music history. Numerous transcriptions
are provided. This groundbreaking technical study will be of interest to
musicologists and serious students of jazz.

Yardbird
Suite : A Compendium of the Music and Life of Charlie Parker
Lawrence O. Koch
Book Description: Revised Edition. Bebop saxophonist Charlie "Yardbird"
Parker (1920-1955), a man of extremes in his personal life, was a disciplined
musical genius who expanded and transformed the boundaries of jazz. In
this revised and updated edition of Yardbird Suite, Lawrence O. Koch fuses
musical, discographical, and biographical analysis to thoroughly examine
the evolution of Parker's innovative music.
Richly illustrated with extensive musical notations, this in-depth study
of hundreds of works in the Parker discography takes into account newly
discovered recordings and CD reissues. Koch meticulously documents each
recording session and provides an array of musical details on theme structure,
key, chords, distinguishing phrases, and performance format. Comprehensive
biographical material-including the "Bird stories" of Parker's eccentric
behavior, sexual appetite, drug addiction, and compulsive drinking-is interwoven
with the musical analysis to fully illuminate both the man and the musician.
This volume will appeal to Bird fans, jazz buffs, and musicologists
alike, and it will make an essential companion for listeners of Charlie
Parker's superb recordings.
