Hi guys
I am keen to know if Charlie Parker had played a tenor before. Can someone provide me a link to it please. Thks.

Bird played tenor with Earl Hines' big band. Unfortunately, this was during the recording ban, so there is essentially no evidence of this. I know there are photos out there. Somebody posted one on a FB saxophone great a few months ago. I'll see if I can track it down.

By writing Charlie Parker Tenor in YouTube, you'll find some of these recordings.
