Charlie 'Bird' Parker:
Me and the piano player, we got together and we were working on "Cherokee." Now, this was a song that I had played 10,000 times and I was sick of this song. But, I found this new way of extending the chord changes so it was like - a whole new song. And it still fit. That's been what I've trying to do this since they gonged me off the Reno Club. The bridge of "Cherokee." That's the bridge I crossed - two days before Christmas 1939. What a Christmas present
