I’ve been switching between listening to 2 Charlie Parker CD’s for over a week , listening to them over and over. Today’s coffee was a companion to the thick booklet included in the small box-set. It’s a rather tedious and unoriginal format so I was skipping through it when I came across this:

Broadway north from 38th St.

… a new jazz club opened on Broadway… it was dedicated to presenting bepop performances and was named for bop’s reigning king: Charlie “Bird” Parker. The club was Birdland… would become a legend throughout the 50’s … ans as it’s large neon sign proclaimed, Birdland would become “The Jazz Corner of the World”.

Not center. Corner!
