"Yardbird Suite" is a bebop standard composed by jazz saxophonist Charlie Parker in 1946.[1][2][3] The title combines Parker's nickname "Yardbird" (often shortened to "Bird") and a colloquial use of the classical music term "suite" (in a manner similar to such jazz titles as Lester Young's "Midnight Symphony" and Duke Ellington's "Ebony Rhapsody").
