Wednesday Coffeehouse: Charlie “Yardbird” Parker & Jack Kerouac





Welcome to Nick’s Wednesday (evening) Coffeehouse! Tonight we feature the music of Charlie “Yardbird” Parker, who was perhaps the finest musician who ever wailed an alto sax. Charlie is introduced by the spokesperson of the Beat generation: Jack Kerouac.


So, be hip and dig the wailing ax of Charlie Parker.




Charlie Parker


Jack Kerouac: Remembering Charlie Parker


Charlie Parker: Now’s the Times


Charlie Parker: The Bird


Charlie Parker: Just Friends


Charlie Parker: Lover Man



All the audios at Nick’s Coffeehouse come from my own collection.
