This is a well done transcription of Charlie Parker's recording on Dial, Savoy, Verve. There are 60! songs including Parker's solo in this transcription,such as KoKo, Confirmation, Ornithology, Parker's Mood, She Rotre, Yardbird Suite, Scrapple from the apple, Billie's Bounce... Not like the one 'Charlie Parker a Jazz Master' Hal-Leonard made, without any information on the records(the real sounds), this has information on series numbers of the records where the song was transcribed from.The transcription is done very well;notes are took very precisely, in hand-writing, with chords changes on bars.'Not regularly 4 bar each row' is the only thing that I can complain about.
This book is a very important material for people whom want to know what parker has made when he was improvising. With carefully analysis, one can get an insight view on what Parker was really doing. According to this, the book could be the most important marterail that ever written about Charlie Parker.
A must have.

It seems indeed to be a masterpiece, for sight-reading and also to get into Parker's way of playing. Thank you very much for sharing, just what I was looking for ;)
