"Yardbird Suite" is a bebop standard composed by jazzsaxophonistCharlie Parker in 1946. The title derives from Parker's nickname "Bird", respectively "Yardbird". Far from being a suite, the song follows an AABA form. The "graceful, hip melody, became something of an anthem for beboppers."
The three Charlie Parker recordings
Although, like Bob Dorough wrote, fans used to follow Parker everywhere he played and often taped his performances, there are only three known recordings of Parker himself playing the tune. The first two were recorded with a septet at Radio Recorders in Hollywood on March 28, 1946. The session was supervised and produced by Ross Russell for his Dial Records label. Besides Parker on alto saxophone was Miles Davis on trumpet, Lucky Thompson on tenor saxophone, pianist Dodo Marmarosa, Arvin Garrison on rhythm guitar, bassist Vic McMillan, and Roy Porter on drums. The last take of the tune of originally four became the master (takes two and three are lost), released as 78 shellac single (D 1003).
Yardbird Suite is an album by American jazz flautist Herbie Mann featuring tracks recorded in 1957 for the Savoy label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars stating "this is a solid document of all of the participants' burgeoning skills, and increasing cache as modern jazz masters".
Yardbird Suite is a jazz club located at 11 Tommy Banks Way in Edmonton, Alberta. Operating since 1984, it is one of Canada's oldest jazz clubs. Several live albums have been recorded at the club.
History
The first incarnation of the Yardbird Suite opened on 23 March 1957 on Whyte Avenue. The club was started by Edmonton musicians Terry Hawkeye, Zen and Ray Magus, Ron Repka, Garry Nelson, Ken Chaney and Neil Gunn. The original club moved two times before closing in 1967.
In 1984 the Edmonton Jazz Society opened a new Yardbird Suite at the current location of 11 Tommy Banks Way. Since that time the venue has run continuously, making it one of Canada's longest-running jazz venues.
