A scarce, lavish photographic tribute to legendary jazz saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker; selected from an extensive archive of photos and ephemera prodigiously collected by Parker’s widow Chan, with a brief introductory text, and captions appearing in both English and French. “Music is your own experience, your own thoughts, your wisdom. If you don’t live it, it won’t come out your horn. They teach you there’s a boundary line to music. But, man, there’s no boundary line to art.” – Bird                                                                                                              (#032404)        $750.00
