Charles Parker, Jr. è stato un sassofonista e compositore jazz americano che ha svolto un ruolo fondamentale nello sviluppo del bebop. I suoi approcci innovativi alla melodia, al ritmo e all'armonia, comprese idee armoniche rivoluzionarie e l'uso di accordi estesi, hanno profondamente influenzato i suoi contemporanei. Lo stile di Parker, caratterizzato da una tecnica virtuosa e da una profonda sensibilità blues, ha lasciato un segno indelebile nella musica jazz. È diventato un'icona per la sottocultura hipster e la Beat Generation, incarnando il concetto del musicista jazz come artista e intellettuale intransigente.
