CHARLIE PARKER - WOODY HERMAN



Charlie Parker 
with Woody Herman
Four Brothers

Four Brothers with Charlie Parker and Woody Herman in July 1951, 

On the first chorus, Parker had really not heard the changes before.  He did not use any music. Now this tune has some unusual modulations on the bridge.  It is interesting to hear that Parker lays out so he can learn the changes.  Then by the second or third chorus, he has it.

The reed section: Charlie Parker (as) Dick Hafer, Bill Perkins, Kenny Pinson (ts) Sam Staff (bar)
