“Yardbird Suite: Universal Celebrates Charlie Parker’s Centennial With “Bird 100” Campaign” / Universal, “Bird” lakaplı Charlie Parker’ın 100. Doğum Yılını “Bird 100” Kampanyası’yla Kutluyor

“August 29 will mark what would have been the 100th birthday of Charlie Parker.  The alto saxophonist is a pillar of jazz as we know it, transforming the genre as a leader of the bebop sound.  To celebrate, Universal Music Group’s UMe arm is continuing its Bird 100 campaign to include vinyl reissues of his Clef Records material, a new collection of Los Angeles sessions in the ’40s and ’50s, a new book of complete music scores, a graphic novel by Z2 Comics (publisher of Grateful Dead: Origins), a CD collection of his Savoy material coming from Craft Recordings, and more.”
