Jam to "Yardbird Suite"

Yardbird Suite is an historically significant piece.  Written by Charlie Parker in 1946, it came in the first few years of the new Bebop era.  In contrast to "Donna Lee", a tune from the same period written by Miles Davis but mistakenly attributed to Parker, Yardbird Suite has a more accessible melody that isn't as technically demanding.  This is a good tune for players who want to get a taste of Bebop.
