Charlie Parker - 1936
from Hear Me Talkin' To Ya: The Classic Story of Jazz as Told by the Men Who Made It, page 393:
I first began listening seven or eight years ago. First I heard Stravinsky's "Firebird Suite.' In the vernacular of the streets, I flipped. I guess Bartok has become my favourite. I dig all the moderns. And also the classical men--Bach, Beethoven, et cetera.
