Charles Parker, Jr. fut un saxophoniste et compositeur de jazz américain qui joua un rôle essentiel dans le développement du bebop. Ses approches novatrices de la mélodie, du rythme et de l'harmonie, incluant des idées harmoniques révolutionnaires et l'utilisation d'accords étendus, influencèrent profondément ses contemporains. Le style de Parker, caractérisé par une technique virtuose et une profonde sensibilité blues, a laissé une empreinte indélébile sur la musique jazz. Il est devenu une icône pour la sous-culture hipster et la Beat Generation, incarnant le concept du musicien de jazz comme un artiste et un intellectuel intransigeant.
