The 'Charlie
Parker Yardbird
Originals' were
originally published in
1954 by my dad, Dr.
Charles Colin. In his
memoir, 'Reflections II',
he includes the colorful
story of how it came to
be that he met Charlie
Parker and would publish
this early work. Using
most of Pop's lingo, here
is a synopsis of that
story: 'In the 40's -
early 50's 'I' had eight
studios on the second
floor at 111 West 48th
Street with several
outstanding teachers. One
of whom was Jimmy Abato
who played bass clarinet
with the Met. Between
lessons, Jimmy relaxed at
Jim and Andy's, a bar
frequented by the top
studio and recording
artists where they would
all meet for a few
congenial moments in
between sessions. One day
Jimmy was chatting with
Charlie Parker who
confided that he was
going through difficult
times and was looking for
a way to earn some cash.
Jimmy, knowing that pop
was into music
publishing, suggested
that Parker and he meet
with the idea that he
write a few Be Bop tunes
that could be printed in
book form. Even though
Bebop was not yet in the
mainstream or necessarily
accepted by the music
world, pop had great
admiration and confidence
in 'Charlie Parker' and
was willing to make the
considerable investment.'
Each of the 5 tunes is
presented here transposed
into B-flat, C, and
E-flat, alongside a piano
accompaniment. Take a
