查理.帕克 查理.帕克(CHARLIE.PARKER 1920--1955)爵士樂歷史上最偉大的中音薩克管演奏家，比勃普流派的創造人之一。邁爾斯.戴維斯曾說過：“爵士樂的歷史只需用兩個人的名字就可包括，那就是路易斯.阿姆斯特朗和查理.帕克。”由此可見，帕克在其它爵士音樂家心目中的位置。帕克1920年出生於堪薩斯城，13歲參加了學校樂隊，演奏單簧管，後改為中音薩克斯管。憑藉超人的音樂天賦和勤學苦練，帕克很快就在爵士樂圈內展露頭角。當時非常有名的爵士音樂家肯尼.克拉克（KENNY.CLARKE鼓）和塞洛尼奧斯.蒙克（THELONIOUS.MONK鋼琴）專程到紐約去聽他演奏，並說服他轉到他們的俱樂部，與迪基.吉來斯皮（DIZZY.GILLESPIE小號）等高水平的音樂家一起演奏。很快，他們就創造了一種新的爵士樂流派——比勃普（BEBOP）。這種音樂要求演奏都有極其高超的演奏技巧和對和聲的深刻理解能力。他們的演奏經常使其它音樂家目瞪口呆，根本無法加入到他們的行列中。帕克對薩克管演奏技巧和爵士音樂所作出的貢獻是巨大的，以至於在他死後，竟然找不出一位中音薩克管演奏家能和他相題並論！他的演奏風格深深地影響著一代又一代的爵士音樂家！ 查理.帕克Charlie Parker(1920--1955), the greatest alto saxophonist in jazz history, he was one of the founder about BEBOP jazz style.
