This official Charlie Parker design is printed on BOTH SIDES of this premium 11 ounce ceramic music coffee mug. It is dishwasher and microwave safe. It was a hot July week in 1952 when Charlie Parker returned to his Kansas City hometown a star -- the music pioneer who'd mentored practically all of the emerging jazz giants, from Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Thelonious Monk and many others. The grand & esteemed jazz club El Capitan sat at the corner of 18th and Vine for decades -- serving as both the center and the beating heart of the famous KC Jazz district. A one week engagement sold out quickly, and so a matinee was added, then a second week.
