Charlie Parker Poster

The Charlie Parker Poster was created in celebration of this iconic american jazz saxophonist and composer. Also affectionately known as “Bird,” Charlie was born in 1920 in Kansas City. Parker was a pioneering figure in the development of bebop, a fast-paced and intricate style of jazz that redefined the genre in the 1940s. His virtuosic technique, innovative improvisations, and harmonic breakthroughs transformed the sound of modern jazz. Collaborating with legendary musicians like Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis, Parker’s contributions laid the foundation for jazz as we know it today. Despite his brilliance, Parker’s struggles with addiction led to his untimely death at 34 in 1955, yet his profound impact on jazz remains unparalleled.

This poster captures the essence of Charlie Parker by fusing Art Deco aesthetics with minimalist elements, utilizing clean lines, geometric shapes, and symmetry to celebrate one of jazz’s most distinctive voices.
