Additional Details

rare candid photograph of a very high flying "yardbird." Charlie Parker was a known heroin user and heavy drinker. Dizzy Gillespie, part of Parker's original quintet, left the group in late 1945 because of Parker's habitual lateness or complete non-appearance at their gigs. He was replaced by Miles Davis.
