Led by saxophone player Tim Sanders

ways flourished —the small jazz club.

Eric Kinlawon bass and Tim “T'C” Cox on
drums. The sessions have become 8o popu
lar that other local jazz musicians wait
for an opportunity.to “sit in.”
The session will kick off at Sunday,

Lives
Theinfluence of Charlie Parker
on the development of jazz has
been felt not just in the realm of
the alto saxophone, but in the
whole spectrum of jazz ideas.
The astounding melodic, har
monic, tonal and rhythmic inno
vations heintroduced have made
it impossible for any jazz musi
cian from the mid-1940s to the
present to develop a musical style
without reflecting some of
Parker’s influence, whether it is
acknowledged or not.
Parler left school at 16 to be
come a professional musician in
Kansas City, his hometown,
where he eventually joined pia
nist Jay McShann, with whom
he recorded his first sides. At
this time Parker met Dizzy
Gillespie. The two men had inde
pendently formulated similar
ideas about the direction of jazz,
and they co-founded the bop
movement some four years later.
In the early 19405, Parker
played with the bands of Earl
Hines, Cootie Wiliams, and Andy
Kirk, as well as the original Billy
Blvd. Admission is $5.
The “Jazz Tribute” sessions met with
tremendous artistic success. Previous
tributes honored jazz pianist Bud
Powell, legendary composer Thelonious
Monk, and jazz innovator John
Coltrane, :
Once jazz lovers discover the delights
of realjazz played in an intimate, urban
setting, they’re hooked. Along with the
music, guests will be treated to a New
York Jazz Club favorite — Chicken and
Walffles.

Eckstine band —the first big
band formed expressly to fea
ture the newjazzstyleinits solos
and arrangements.
In 1945, Parker cut a series of
remarkable sides with Gillespie
that put bebop on the map. Al
though Parker was revered by a
host of younger musicians, his
innovatiosn were at first met with
a great deal of opposition from
traditionalistjazz musicians and
critics.
In 1946, Parker, addicted to
heroin, suffered abreakdown and
was confined to a state hospital
in California. Six months later
he wasback recording with Erroll
Garner. From this point until his
death from aheartattackin 1955,
he confined most of his activity
to working with a quintet, but he
also recorded and toured with a
string section and visited Eu
rope in 1949 and 1950. He made
his final public appearance in
1955 at Birdland, the club that
had been named in his honor.
Productions musical director Frederick
Benjamin. Benjamin noticed that jazz
styles have become so diverse that the
“classical” jazz of the '4os and 'sos was
getting lost in the mix of jazz fusion, jazz
rock and shadings of hip-hop jazz.
“When you walk into BL’s on a jazz
tribute night, it’'s a throwback to the
dimly-litjazz clubsin Harlem, Chicagoor
San Francisco where the music was pure
and uncompromising. You will not hear
jazzed up versions of the latest pop ditty:
you will hear the real thing,” Benjamin
said.
