The fleeting existence of Charlie Parker, who inspired Cortázar´s story El Perseguidor, didn´t prevent him from composing standards including Confirmation (whose original phrasing marked the beginning of bebop). This piece is accompanied by The Gipsy, a classic Parker recorded during the session prior to his hospitalization in Camarillo.
