Until his murder in 1971, King Curtis was Aretha Franklin’s musical director for her live shows.

This is an official Bluescentric Brand Charlie Parker racerback tank top available in a variety of colors and women's sizes up to 2XL. The material is a quality fabric-laundered 4.2oz triblend 50/25/25 polyester/combed ringspun cotton/rayon racerback tee.

It was a hot July week in 1952 when Charlie Parker returned to his Kansas City hometown a star -- the music pioneer who'd mentored practically all of the emerging jazz giants, from Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Thelonious Monk and many others. 

The grand & esteemed jazz club El Capitan sat at the corner of 18th and Vine for decades -- serving as both the center and the beating heart of the famous KC Jazz district.

A one week engagement with the hometown hero proved too irresistible, and so a matinee was added, then more dates, then a second week.
