Charlie Parker Popular Song Ranking [2026] (11–20)

ConfirmationCharlie Parker11rank/position

Charlie Parker – “Confirmation”
ConfirmationCharlie Parker

This piece was composed by Charlie Parker, the alto saxophonist known for establishing the bebop style in jazz.

Among jazz musicians, it’s so famous that a parody titled “I know it, but I can’t play Confirmation” was made—yet it’s also considered a notoriously difficult tune to perform satisfactorily.

In addition, recording and playback technology at the time could only handle about three minutes, so only short recordings remain, but surely there were longer, masterful performances unfolding in jazz clubs.

Miles Davis & Charlie Parker – A Night In Tunisia
A Night In TunisiaCharlie Parker

A track featuring the father of bebop technique—nicknamed Bird (Charlie)—and Miles playing together.

It’s said that it took a lot of trial and error before “bebop,” where you break down chords and reconstruct them while swinging during your solos, was born.

Things got so chaotic at times that, depending on who you ask, there were even incidents like the drummer throwing a cymbal at him—or maybe not.
