I so much enjoyed reading/watching this post. For your Sunday afternoon why don't you sit back and watch Charlie Parker do something amazing with Confirmation.

Once again Youtube's basic compression can't handle Bird's 16th notes. Watch it at 720p for a better experience. Charlie hits some hilariously good phrases in this solo, and the melody is great. Transcription is from the Omnibook, as usual. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0769260527
