Charlie Parker was born August 29, 1920, in the Middle Western state of Kansas. He had his first music lessons in the local public schools. His mother bought him a saxophone in 1933.
Two years later, he decided to leave school and become a professional musician. For the next four years, he worked mainly in Kansas City, Missouri, where jazz music had become popular.
Charlie developed as a musician by playing with different groups in public eating and drinking places called nightclubs. He also learned by listening to older local jazz musicians.
During this time, Charlie developed serious problems that were to affect him the rest of his life. He became dependent on alcohol and the illegal drug, heroin.Charlie Parker于1920年8月29日在堪萨斯中西部出生。在当地的一所公立学校里，他上了人生的第一节音乐课。1933年，其母亲给他买了萨克斯。
