Through-Composed Blues in Other Keys

Most of Parker’s through-composed blues were written in C major (11 pieces), as discussed in Chapter 5. Ranking second and third among keys for pieces of this type are B ♭ (7) and F (6); there are also three single-key pieces in A ♭, E ♭, and G. In all, through-composed blues comprise 27 pieces, easily the most extensive of Parker’s composing formats. In this chapter, we’ll begin by examining the B ♭ pieces, then the ones in F, and finish with the single-key pieces.
