Born this day in 1920, Charles Parker Jr, "The Bird."

I don't know what to make about
astrology, but the fact that
Charlie Parker and Lester Young 
were born two days apart on the 
calendar gives me pause. 

As a young man, Parker studied
Lester Young solos intensely and
his work yielded sounds that pushed 
jazz into a new stratosphere.
