Hi guys, I am new in this forum but this thread actually convinced me to become a member. With all modesty I consider myself being a Parker head in the way that I just love his music, his ability to transport happiness and optimism through his horn and - his mastery of all relevant parts of music (rhythm, harmony, melody). My wife Christina is even worse in the regard being a Parker head and here is the reason for my post: She is currently working on a project to collect comments, meanings and opinions about Charlie Parker and what he means for you. She has already interviewed some names of the scene, i.e. Steve Swallow, Billy Hart and others but the focus is not on more or less famous musicians. Everybody who feels the need to give a comment is welcome. I need to say that some of your responses made me feel happy that there are still quite some Parker lovers around! If the outcome of that project will be published - time will tell.
If you want you can send your comments directly to her e-mail address:

Thanks in advance!
Klaus
