Charles "Charlie" Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955), also known as "Yardbird" and "Bird", was an American jazz saxophonist and composer.
Parker was a highly influential jazz soloist and a leading figure in the development of bebop, a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuosic technique and advanced harmonies. Parker was a blazingly fast virtuoso, and he introduced revolutionary harmonic ideas including rapid passing chords, new variants of altered chords, and chord substitutions. His tone ranged from clean and penetrating to sweet and somber. Parker acquired the nickname "Yardbird" early in his career. This, and the shortened form "Bird", continued to be used for the rest of his life, inspiring the titles of a number of Parker compositions, such as "Yardbird Suite", "Ornithology", "Bird Gets the Worm", and "Bird of Paradise". Parker was an icon for the hipster subculture and later the Beat Generation, personifying the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual rather than just an entertainer.
Charles Lewis "Charlie" Parker is a former Canadian educator and politician who represented the constituency of Pictou West in the Nova Scotia House of Assembly from 1998 to 1999, and from 2003 to 2013. He sat as a member of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party.
Parker was born and raised on his family's farm in Durham. A graduate of West Pictou District High School, Parker is a graduate of the Nova Scotia Teachers College and he also graduated from Acadia University with a BSc. Parker worked as a public school teacher as well as owning and operating a garden centre/nursery and was a realtor. Parker currently lives in Loch Broom and is married with two children.
Parker began his public service as a municipal councilor for the Municipality of the County of Pictou where he served four terms.
In 1998 Parker successfully ran for the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party nomination in the riding of Pictou West. He was elected in the 1998 provincial election by a margin of 33 votes (40.3% of votes cast).
The Paper Brigade (also known as Gunther and the Paper Brigade) is a 1996 adventure/comedy film directed by Blair Treu. The film stars Kyle Howard and Robert Englund.
The film follows Gunther Wheeler (Kyle Howard), who moves from the large city of New York to the quiet suburb of Pleasant Valley, New York. When he needs money to buy tickets to a concert for a date with a girl (Kylee Cochran) he likes, he gets a job as a local paperboy. When several bullies try to take over his neighborhood, Gunther and his new friends must stand-up against them, and stop them with the help of Crazy Man Cooper (Robert Englund).
Charles William Parker (1 September 1891 – 1969) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Carlisle United, Stoke and Sunderland.
Parker was born in Seaham and played for local clubs Seaham Albion, Seaham Harbour and Hartlepool BD before joining Stoke in 1913. He soon became popular with the club's supporters and he helped Stoke re-gain their League status in 1914–15. He remained with Stoke through World War I and was a key member of the Stoke squad for their return to the Football League in 1919–20 as the played in 35 matches. However in October 1920 he was sold to First Division, Sunderland by manager Arthur Shallcross which prompted and angry reaction by the fans who believed that it was an unnecessary sale of a popular player.
He signed for Sunderland from Stoke City for £3,300 in 1920, and made his debut for Sunderland against Bradford City on 23 October 1920 in a 2–2 draw at Valley Parade. He was appointed as club captain in 1924 as Charlie Buchan left for Arsenal. In total, he made 245 league appearances and scored 12 goals in his time at Sunderland from 1920 to 1929, where he left for Carlisle United to become player-coach. One of his career highlights was to play for England against Wales, at the Victory International on 8 October 1919 at the Victoria Ground, Stoke (England 2–0 Wales).
Charlie Parker (born December 24, 1948) is an American basketball coach.
Parker was an assistant coach for the New Orleans Hornets in 2006–07. His previous coaching position was at the Dallas Mavericks, where he was an assistant coach for ten seasons (1995–2005). Prior to that, he coached the USC Trojans. Parker was head coach at Wayne State from 1982 to 1988. Prior to that, he coached at Bowling Green and his alma mater, University of Findlay.

Bebop is a subgenre of jazz that is recognized as being difficult to dance to, but Bird said he didn't care if people danced to his music, because he was an artist.

On the centennial of Charlie “Bird” Parker’s birth, Kansas City PBS is proud to present a documentary that looks back at the years Bird spent in Kansas City and his lasting legacy on the Kansas City jazz scene. "Bird: Not Out of Nowhere" features rarely seen archival footage of Parker, interviews with musicians and historians, and live performances from some of Kansas City’s most talented jazz musicians, including Chuck Haddix, Bobby Watson, Lonnie McFadden and Logan Richardson.
Charlie 'Yardbird' Parker lived only a decade after the release of his first record and there is only one video clip of him actually playing. Those are astonishing facts when you consider his monumental impact on the evolution of jazz. As the undisputed leader of the bebop movement in the 1940s, he stood at the forefront of what could still be seen as the start of the modern jazz era, nearly a century hence. Bird's story is one of tragic genius, and one might wonder 'what if'. But his music was fully formed and complete, so perhaps he fulfilled his destiny in spite of his truncated life. In any case, his position atop the jazz pantheon has made him an almost mythological figure. The clips in this video of Jay McShann confirming the story of how Bird earned his nickname, and his humble na...

The Life and Tragic Ending of Charlie Parker One of a handful of musicians who can be said to have permanently changed jazz, Charlie Parker was arguably the greatest saxophonist of all time. He could play remarkably fast lines that, if slowed down to half speed, would reveal that every note made sense. #CharlieParker
On September 9 1949 Down Beat magazine printed an interview with Bebop Jazz legend Charlie Parker. Since that date scholars have been arguing about just what he actually meant in many of his statements. In this series I try to give a theoretical explaination, explaining how his remarks may lead to the origins of Bebop Scales. No Copyright infringement intended this is for research and education purpose only.
Charlie Parker cast a spell on young musicians when Bebop was born. A mythic figure who changed Jazz, Bird's unconventional lifestyle led some musicians down a rather negative path.

Charlie Parker: The Jazz Legend's Remarkable Life Story Charlie Parker, often referred to as "Bird," was a pioneering jazz musician whose virtuosity and innovation revolutionized the world of jazz. Born on August 29, 1920, in Kansas City, Kansas, Parker showed an early aptitude for music, particularly the saxophone. His talent developed rapidly, and by his teenage years, he was already performing in local jazz clubs. Parker's career took off in the 1940s when he became a central figure in the bebop movement, a groundbreaking subgenre of jazz characterized by complex harmonies and improvisational brilliance. His alto saxophone playing was marked by its blistering speed and lyrical expressiveness, setting new standards for jazz musicians. Throughout his career, Parker collaborated with so...

Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
There is no moon above
When love is far away too
Till it comes true
That you love me as I love you
Somewhere there's music
How near, how far
Somewhere there's heaven
It's where you are
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
How high the moon
Somewhere there's music
How faint the tune
Somewhere there's heaven
How high the moon
The darkest night would shine
If you would come to me soon
Until you will, how still my heart
