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.

Established in 1932, Bluebird Records was notable for recording Chicago Blues musicians. Notable blues musicians made up Bluebird's house band, which backed many records, including Big Bill Broonzy, Roosevelt Sykes, Washboard Sam, and Sonny Boy Williamson.

Bluebird eventually folded after World War II, leaving a legacy of capturing extraordinary music from the 1930s and 1940s.
