Charlie Parker Played Be Bop by Chris Raschka


Charlie Parker Played Be Bop is the kind of book that, if you've ever wanted to do some scatting with Louis or Ella, brings you close to experiencing those tongue-twisting tones. Chris Raschka provides a wonderful lyrical and visual exploration of Charlie Parker and the jazz experience. You'll enjoy rat-a-tat-tatting along with your child as the two of you share in the sounds of some very cool jazz. A great introduction to jazz in a very untraditional storytelling format. 32 pages.
