Yardbird SuiteCharlie Parker
Together with trumpeter Dizzy Gillespie, he created the “bebop style,” considered the prototype of modern jazz.
Though his life was short—just 34 years—Charlie Parker, known as “Bird,” revolutionized the jazz scene with his genius for improvisation.
Parker was not only an unparalleled player but also wrote several classic compositions.
This time, let’s introduce Yardbird Suite, which Parker composed in 1946.
Known in Japanese as “Yardbird Kumikyoku,” this piece is regarded as a quintessential bebop classic and has been covered by many artists as a jazz standard.
The title, which combines Parker’s nickname “Yardbird” with the classical music term “suite,” is quite unique, isn’t it? The piece uses the so-called 32-bar AABA form, and many people have likely tackled it as an exercise piece when practicing jazz improvisation.
Incidentally, Bob Dorough—known as a pianist and singer-songwriter—included a vocal cover of Yardbird Suite, with lyrics he wrote himself, on his 1956 album Devil May Care.
The lyrics convey profound respect for Parker, so if you’re interested, be sure to check it out!
