Jazz

Charlie Parker, an American alto saxophonist and composer, was a pioneer of bebop music. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential jazz musicians of all time. Known as 'Bird', Parker was a virtuoso on the saxophone and introduced groundbreaking harmonic ideas into jazz. His innovative use of rapid passing chords, altered chords, and chord substitutions revolutionized the genre.
Parker tragically passed away at the age of 34 in New York City. Although his official cause of death was lobar pneumonia and a bleeding ulcer, he also suffered from cirrhosis and had experienced a heart attack. Remarkably, the coroner who performed his autopsy mistakenly estimated Parker's body to be much older than it actually was.

Grammy award-winning blues icon returns to his Delta blues roots for the most captivating musical statement of his long and legendary career.Charlie's first new solo studio release in seven years is stripped-down and semi-acoustic, driven by his deft guitar playing, while also featuring the masterful harp and soul-deep vocals for which he is famed. Mississippi Son is front porch country blues that is at turns raucous and languid, haunting and impossibly soulful. The track listing includes Musselwhite originals and songs by Charley Patton, Yank Rachell and Big Joe Williams. This warm, intimate recording is loaded with feeling and exhilarating, timeless music. Essential listening for any blues fan.
