The late Charles Fox presents his last programme on Charlie Parker , the influential American saxophonist.
He looks at Parker's final years - he died in 1955, aged only 34. This period was marred by erratic behaviour but there were still musical triumphs, among them a concert at Toronto's Massey Hall.
The programme includes interviews with Gil Evans , Dizzy Gillespie ,
Billy Eckstine and Sonny Stitt.
