The books are BIRD by Robert George Reisner, 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 mother heading the family, the father long gone for other pastures. His mother managed to see that he learned the rudiments of his instrument, the alto saxophone and it was even a struggle to buy him @ 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 experi- mented until he discovered he could produce his ideas associated with personal exper- ience by using devices related to the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line. ‘And like Picasso, once arrived at his ultimate style, he stayed there since imitators could not comfortably or naturally follow his direction. Just as you can look at a mod- fern Picasso work, you can hear a Parker solo and identify them easily. Unfortunately, Patker 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 faculty and rhythms. His “bop” adventure brought about a fresh harmonic complexity with richer melodic language, employing a 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, | brought the Jay ‘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 all-star groups. An old friend Billy Shaw, his, manager, was kind enough to entrust my company with his copyrights and this began a long association with his music that resulted in the acquisition of his compositions which comprise this book A great deal of preperation 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.

In presenting these solos, we hope to bring musicians closer to the true genius of “ 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 to the record first, then play through the solo slowly, gradually increasing the speed until you are at the recorded tempo Bird played it. | don’t feel the idea is to try to play the solos exactly as Bird did, but rather to phrases, articulations, scoops, turns, etc. that you feel you would like to incorporate into your own playing. By being able to see and play the actual notes, it should help speed up the learning process. Many players play like Bird but retain their own personality Practice with @ metronome. Each day try to increase the tempo a little, all the while retaining the inflections, articulations, etc. that you would use at the slower tempo. Try practicing some of these solos with the Aebersold Play A Long records. Toke a slow blues solo in F and play it with one of the records in the series that has a slow F blues, then move to a record that has a faster F blues. It is fun to work towards play- ing the solos with Bird along with the actual Parker recorded version. Blues make up the largest portion of this book. Rhythm changes come next. Some compositions have the two versions recorded by Porker in separate solos. When @ measure occurs without a chord symbol above it, the chord is the same as thé meas- ure preceeding it. ‘Most players like to analyze solos in order to find out what the musician is do- ing. Our ears cannot always HEAR what is happening so we slow the music down. transcribe it, analyze it, practice the licks, patterns ond phroses we like best, and 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 to 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 Syllabus chart.’ Bird loved to use the b9 over the Dom. 7th chord/scale. The Blues scale and its accompanying licks was an important part of his music, even when playing songs other than blues! When you find licks or patterns that you enjoy, practice them in several keys so the melodic phrase becomes a part of you, It should become automatic in order to really be useable in a playing situation Only a minimum of articulations have been put in this book. We feel that jazz, being an aural 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 has proven reliable. After all, who would object to listening anyway? 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 a bargain! We hope you have as much enjoyment with this book os we have had putting it together.
