Charlie Parker was arguably one of the most influential jazz musicians to have ever lived. This text presents numerous jazz lines in Charlie's style. These lines have been grouped by the harmony they can be used against. Students will learn how to connect lines to play over II-V-I progressions, turnarounds and other harmonic situations. To promote proficiency in all twelve keys, each section of the book has a chordal play-along that modulates around the circle of fourths. Some of the techniques used in the Charlie Parker style will also be discussed and examples shown. This will help musicians analyze each of the ideas presented, further ensuring mastery of these ideas. Introduction / 1.
