Where Charlie Parker got the name “Bird” is a mystery — In one famed story from The Reno Club in Kansas City, Drummer Jo Jones (no relation to “Philly” Jo Jones) threw a cymbal at teenage Charlie Parker’s feet when he poorly improvised a saxophone solo in the wrong key, causing him to fly like a bird.

Bluesman R.L. Burnside was the influence for Samuel L. Jackson’s character in the movie ‘Black Snake Moan’.
