Love the Bird. I picked up a 40 song CD collection of his work in Spain once. It was from the Jazz Encyclopedia Collection. That had some awesome stuff on there. I also have some of his collabortations with Dizzy Gillespie. Great amazing stuff.

Is it Clint Eastwood's fault that I think Charlie Parker looks like Forest Whitaker?

Or is it Apple's fault because I never see the album covers any more?
