Initially he played alto and was an admirer of Paul Desmond; by 1960 he had switched to tenor and soprano, following the example of John Coltrane, a major influence who, he would later say, determined "my choice of everything".

Parker stayed in Birmingham for a time, often playing with pianist Howard Riley
