CHARLIE PARKER OMNIBOOK Charlie Parker There have been three books written about Charlie Parker which cover his life thoroughly and these are recommended to learn about the hard life he led and the ‘way he influenced Jazz in America. The books are BIRD by Robert George Reisn CHARLIE PARKER by Max Harrison (British) and BIRD LIVES! by Ross Russell, He was born, brought up and educated in Kansas City, Kansas of o poor family, with his moth hheading the fomily, the father long gone for other pastures. His mother managed to see that he learned the rudiments of his instrument, the allo saxophone and it was ‘even a struggle to buy him a horn and get him lessons. In some ways, he was like Picasso, ever searching for new ways of expres sion, bored with the’ stereotyped changes in ad-libbing impressions), he exper mented until he discovered he could produce his ideas associated with personal expe jence by using devices reloted to the higher intervals of a chord os a melody line. ‘And like Picasso, once arrived at his ultimate style, he stayed there since imitators could not comfortably or naturally follow his diraction. Just as you con look at a mod fern Picasso work, you con hear a Parker solo and identify them easily, Unfortunately, Parker lived 35 years, Picasso almost 95. Because he preferred to work with small groups, he was able to develop his unique characteristics; mobility of attack, freedom of accentuation, imagination and fluency of his inventive foculty and rhythms. His “bop” adventure brought about a fresh harmonic complexity with richer melodic language, employing @ greater range of intervals. This creative area was not accepted immediately by his peers or public because it dared to be different and it took years before his “sound” became popular. | have followed Parker's career through the years and when scouting the Har- lan Leonard band in Philadelphia about 1938 or "39, he might have been still with the sax section, Definitely in 1941 while with Leeds Music, now MCA, I brought the Joy. ‘MeShann catalogue into the firm along with some works by Charlie Parker and heard this band live. Living in New York and frequenting the 52nd Street clubs, it was always possible to hear him with his own or oll-star groups. An old friend Billy Shaw, his manager, was kind enough to entrust my company with his copyrights and this began @ long association with his music that resulted in the acquisition of his compositions which comprise this book. ‘A great deo! of preporation went into the production of this book. The actual solos were transcribed by Jamey Aebersold and Ken Slone, a monumental task. We are very proud to be the publisher of the most important collection ever made of the works of Charlie Parker, Michael H Goldsen Publisher Partituras wusanrcecamnro CHARLIE PARKER OMNIBOOK For E Flat Instruments ® Transcribed Exactly From His Recorded Solos CONTENTS Title Page AH-LEU-CHA (AH LEV CHA) 86 ANOTHER HAIRDO 104 ANTHROPOLOGY 10 ‘AU PRIVAVE (No. 1) a ‘AU PRIVAVE (No 2) 25 BACK HOME BLUES 105 BALLADE 2 BARBADOS 70 BILLIE’S BOUNCE (BULL'S BOUNCE) 8 THE BIRD 0 BIRD GETS THE WORM 9 BLOOMDIDO 108 BLUE BIRD. aM BLUES (FAST) 124 BLUES FOR ALICE BUZZY CARD BOARD CELBRITY CHASING THE BIRD CHERY) CHI CHI 25 CONFIRMATION 1 CONSTELLATION 6 COSMIC RAYS 30 DEWEY SQUARE 4 DIVERSE 4 DONNA LEE 48 K.

In presenting these solos, we hope to bring musicians closer to the true genius of “Bird” The solos are in Eb key which means they can be read right out of the book ‘on Alto or Baritone Saxophone. Other instruments, of course, will have to transpose. We hope to very shortly offer a condensed book of solos which will be transposed to Bb keys for Trumpet, Tenor Sax and Soprano Sax. ‘Most Jazz musicians have learned to play by listening to records and imitating the notes, articulations, vibrato, etc. of the masters. We encourage you to play these with the actual recording, Listen 10 the record first, then play through the solo slowly, gradually increasing the speed until you are at the recorded tempo Bird ployed it. | don't feel the idea is to try fo ploy the solos exactly as Bird did, but rather to find phrases, articulations, scoops, turns, etc. that you feel you would like to incorporate into your own playing. By being able to see and ploy the actual notes, it should help speed up the learning process. Many players ploy like Bird but retain their own Personality ‘octice with a metronome. Each day try to increase the tempo a little, oll the while retaining the inflections, articulations, etc. thet you would use ot the slower tempo. Try practicing some of these solos with the Aebersold Play A Long records. Take @ slow blues solo in F and play it with one of the records in the series that hos a slow F blues, then move fo a record that has faster F blues. It is fun to work towards play- ing the solos with Bird long with the actual Parker recorded version. Blues moke up the largest portion of this book. Rhythm changes come next. Some compositions have the two versions recorded by Parker in separate solos. When ‘@ measure occurs without @ chord symbol above it, the chord is the same as th meos- ure preceeding it. ‘Most players like to analyze solos in order to find out whot the musician is do- ing, Our ears cannot clwoys HEAR whet is happening so we slow the music down. tronscribe it, onclyze it, practice the licks, pattems and phrases we like best, ond end up playing them in our own way on our instruments, We have put chord symbols over most all bars to enable you to analyze the notes in relation to the chord. Remem- ber, each chord symbol represents a series of tones called a scale. Older musicians used fo improvise mainly on chord tones; Charlie Parker was one of the first to broaden that to include scales and substitute scales. For information on scale substitution refer to the Scale Syliobus chart.” Bird loved fo use the bY over the Dom. 7th chord/scale, The Blues scale and its accompanying licks wos an important part of his music, even when playing songs other than blues! When you find licks or patterns that you enioy, practice them in several keys so the melodic phrase becomes o port of you, It should become automatic in order to really be useable in o playing situation Only a minimum of arficulations have been put in this book. We feel that jazz, being an oural art form, is often times best imitated by listening over and over, and then playing the notes the way you hear it on the record. This might seem like the long ‘way to do it, but experience hos proven reliable. After all, who would object to listening ‘onyway? Listening is what music is all about, : The records from which these solos are token are listed at the top of each solo page. They are contained in approximately eight records (some are two record sets) and most all are still available. The two record sets are @ bargain! We hope you have as much enjoyment with this book as we have hod putting it together.
