Charles Christopher "Bird" Parker, Jr. (August 29, 1920 – March 12, 1955) was an American bebop saxophonist and composer. Early in his career Parker was dubbed Yardbird; this was later shortened to 'Bird' (or sometimes 'Yard') and remained Parker's nickname for the rest of his life and inspiration for the titles of his works such as Ornithology and Yardbird Suite Parker is commonly considered the greatest bebop jazz musician.
