Charles Parker, Jr. was an American jazz saxophonist and composer who played a pivotal role in the development of bebop. His innovative approaches to melody, rhythm, and harmony, including revolutionary harmonic ideas and the use of extended chords, profoundly influenced his contemporaries. Parker's style, characterized by virtuosic technique and a deep blues sensibility, left an indelible mark on jazz music. He became an icon for the hipster subculture and the Beat Generation, embodying the concept of the jazz musician as an uncompromising artist and intellectual.
