The achievements of Charlie Parker and his contemporaries in transforming swing and forging the post-World War II modern jazz idiom of bop are often under-exposed today. The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival encourages appreciation of this seminal American artist through a lineup of some of the biggest names in jazz today, right in the neighborhoods close to where Parker lived and worked.
City Parks Foundation is proud to present The Charlie Parker Jazz Festival under its auspices since 2003.
