| Charlie Parker Quote: "I remember one night I was jamming in a chili house on Seventh Avenue between 139th and 140th. It was December 1939. Now I`d been getting bored with the stereotyped changes that were being used all the time, at the time, and I kept thinking there`s bound to be something else. I could hear it sometimes, but I couldn`t play it. Well, that night I was working over `Cherokee` and as I did I found that by using the higher intervals of a chord as a melody line and backing them with appropriately related changes, I could play the thing I`d been hearing. I came alive." |
