Saving Charlie Parker: A Novel

In the midst of a world-wide pandemic, retired music professor, Michael Newman, falls down the stairs in the historic home he and his wife Jean are restoring in McAlester, Oklahoma. He is transported back to 1953 and awakens in a bar in Toronto on the night of what is billed as “The Greatest Jazz Concert Ever.” There he meets his hero, Charlie Parker, the revolutionary saxophonist who is credited as one of the great pioneers of modern jazz. Parker’s artistic life was brilliant but cut short at the age of 34 by his addiction to drugs and alcohol. With the help of astrophysicists from Oklahoma and Switzerland, it is determined that the Professor’s home has an Einstein-Rosen Bridge (a time wormhole). Using drugs, hypnosis, and meditation he attempts to travel back to various important moments in Charlie Parker’s life. Driven by the desire to save his hero, Michael’s transtemporal travel has mixed results.

Average quality, not as premium as expected
Color: Beige
Before buying, I thought it would be a thick, glossy satin ribbon. After receiving it, I found the material is rather thin and the texture feels quite ordinary. When used for gift wrapping, it looks a bit cheap and doesn’t match the effect shown in the pictures.

Print quality is inconsistent
Color: Pink
Some labels come out okay, others look blurry or faded, especially with smaller fonts. For decorative ribbons, details matter, and this just isn’t reliable.

Edges fray easily after cutting
Color: Beige
After cutting the ribbon, the edges tend to fray quite easily. This makes it less attractive when tying bows or using it for decoration, and it requires extra handling, which is not very convenient.
