On Parker’s Band, on Steely Dan’s Pretzel Logic, the song ends with four measures that are the beginning of a Charlie Parker tune. I remember hearing the entire tune in the vague and distant past; it’s a 12-bar blues form. But I can’t remember the name. I have gone through lists of Parker tunes but can’t find it.
Thanks for the article! But I listened to four versions of Bongo Bop on YouTube and they are all the same tune and none of them match the ending to Parker’s Band. If that tune is quoted, it’s not at the ending. If I get time I will record myself playing the full head and link that.
