Year/Genre/Sub-Genre/City: 1968, Jazz, Bebop, Kansas City, Missouri 6/26
Matrix #: FS 214

Cultural Facts:

1. Personal Struggle: Parker’s heroin addiction wrecked gigs, money, health, and trust, turning his genius into a survival story long before he died at only 34.
2. Legal Trouble: His 1946 Los Angeles collapse led to arrest and a stay at Camarillo State Hospital, one of the darkest public breaks in bebop history.
3. Scene Ecology: 60s archive LPs like this turned Bird’s club-era bebop into collector history, preserving music first built for late nights, small rooms, and fast-moving players.
