As a founding father of bebop and brilliant jazz improviser,
Charlie Parker has secured a reputation and legacy second to none
since his birth nearly 100 years ago. Because of his excellence as
an improviser, however, his compositions - while admired and still
played - have taken a back seat. In this exciting and timely new
volume, author Henry Martin rebalances our understanding of Parker
by spotlighting his significance as a jazz composer. Beginning with
a review of Parker's life and musical training, Charlie Parker,
Composer critically analyzes Parker's compositions, situating them
within both his individual musicianship and early bebop style.
Proposing that Parker composed up to 84 pieces, Martin examines
their development and aesthetic qualities, their similarities and
dissimilarities within a range of seven types of jazz composition.
Also discussed are eight tunes credited to Parker but never
performed by him, along with an evaluation of where - if at all -
they fit in his oeuvre. Providing the first assessment of a major
jazz composer's output in its entirety, Charlie Parker, Composer
offers a thorough reexamination, through music-theoretical,
historical, and philosophical lenses, of one of the most
influential jazz musicians of all time.
