  Quotes by Parker, Charlie




Charles Christopher "Bird" Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 March 12, 1955) was an American jazz saxophonist and composer. Early in his career Parker was dubbed Yardbird; this was later shortened to 'Bird' and remained Parker's nickname for the rest of his life and inspiration for the titles of his works e.g. Yardbird Suite..

"Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn. They teach you there's a boundary line to music. But, man, there's no boundary line to art."
