Scarce vintage glossy 7.75 x 9.75 photo of Charlie Parker with his saxophone by James J. Kriegsmann of New York, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, "To Kayo, Regards of Charlie Parker." In fine condition, with trimmed borders, creasing to corners, and a light stain touching the saxophone. Consignor notes that this signed photograph is reproduced on page 31 of the book 'Charlie Parker & Jazz Club Memorabilia: The Norman R. Saks Collection' by Ken Vail.
The original recipient, "Kayo," assembled a well-known in-person collection through his job as a train conductor, where he acquired celebrities' autographs as they rode the train. An exceptional signed photo of the revolutionary saxophonist—Bird remains exceedingly scarce and hugely sought after across all formats.
