Join the UMKC Libraries for a release party celebrating "Charlie Parker: Bird in Kansas City" from Verve Records! The record stars rare recordings – of Parker playing with the Jay McShann Band in Kansas City and never-before-heard private sessions – from our Marr Sound Archives. The album cover reveals a unique image of Parker in 1938 playing at a UMKC student hangout, from our University Archives.
RSVP to join us from 4-5pm to view the exhibit Saxophone Supreme: The Life & Music of Charlie Parker and enjoy a reception with guest performer Bobby Watson, then stay from 5-6pm for a program and listening session with Chuck Haddix, Curator of the Marr Sound Archives and preeminent Parker historian, in partnership with the Center for Recorded Music.
This event is free and open to the public. Free parking is available in the parking lot north of the library. The Miller Nichols Learning Center is located at 800 E. 51st Street, Kansas City, MO 64110.
