Saxophone virtuoso Charlie "Bird" Parker began playing professionally in his early teens; became a heroin addict at 16; changed the course of music; and then died when only 34 years old. His friend Robert Reisner observed; "Parker; in the brief span of his life; crowded more living into it than any other human being." Like Louis Armstrong; Duke Ellington; Miles Davis; and John Coltrane; he was a transitional composer and improviser who ushered in a new era of jazz by pioneering bebop and influenced subsequent generations of musicians.

Overly Priced Waste of Money With Information You Already Know (Tarantino fans)By BALAKA!The book is absurdly overpriced and frankly contains little relevant information about Tarantino. I was required to purchase it for a film course I had taken and not once did I have to open it.0 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Crystall ball reveals almost allBy PJDthough the book is relatively short its chock full of juicy tudbits about the conisor of cibema; and will provide another layer to Tarantinos work.
