Charles Parker, Jr. was een Amerikaanse jazzsaxofonist en componist die een cruciale rol speelde in de ontwikkeling van bebop. Zijn innovatieve benaderingen van melodie, ritme en harmonie, inclusief revolutionaire harmonische ideeën en het gebruik van uitgebreide akkoorden, hadden een diepgaande invloed op zijn tijdgenoten. Parker's stijl, gekenmerkt door virtuoze techniek en een diepe bluesgevoeligheid, liet een onuitwisbare indruk achter op de jazzmuziek. Hij werd een icoon voor de hipster-subcultuur en de Beat Generation, en belichaamde het concept van de jazzmuzikant als een compromisloze artiest en intellectueel.
