Charlie Parker's solo on "Sippin' at Bells"

Some good old beBop for your enjoyment. This is from the album "Miles Davis All Star 1947" or something like that. It is definitely from his Savoy recording sessions. Here is a link to the tune on youtube:  Sippin' at Bells.

 This is Charlie on tenor! a rarity but still very enjoyable. It seems a bit more manageable for guitar when he plays tenor, at least the lines seem more guitar friendly. I also added the melody, at least the way I heard it. Hope you enjoy it, try playing it with the recording.
