Saxophonist Charlie “Bird” Parker, along with Dizzy Gillespie, developed a music sound known as Be-Bop. His nickname came from his love of chickens. No doubt a musical genius, he died before his time at the age of thirty-four. Many of his albums can be very collectible like his three albums from 1948 as shown here. Released on Dial Records, each can sell for $700.00 today.
