Dizzy Gillespie Anthropology Be-Bop Songs Vintage Sheet Music | Charlie Parker

Description

Whether you play or not, this is one of those pieces that practically begs to be framed. The bold mid-century design, smiling portrait of Dizzy Gillespie, and unmistakable “BE-BOP SONGS” typography make it a terrific display piece for a listening room, music studio, record collection, or jazz library.

And then there’s the music itself. Anthropology remains one of the defining bebop standards, credited to Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker and built on the chord changes to “I Got Rhythm.” The rear cover is almost as interesting as the front, advertising piano solos, trumpet arrangements, and orchestra charts from the dawn of bebop. A handsome survivor from one of jazz’s most revolutionary moments.

Whether you’re a Dizzy Gillespie collector, a Charlie Parker devotee, or simply appreciate the birth of bebop, this is a terrific survivor from jazz’s most revolutionary era.
