The Charlie Parker Residence, a Gothic Revival-style townhouse at 151 Avenue B between Ninth Street and 10th Street, is now on the sales market. (_Thanks to the EVG reader for the tip and photo!_) The landmarked building, built in 1849, was home to the jazz great and Chan Richardson and their three children from 1951 to 1954 — the height of his career. He died in March 1955 at age 34. Here's more from the listing at Stile Real Estate: > This five-apartment, 23-foot-wide building offers an impressive combination of historic charm and generous proportions. Featuring high ceilings, original wood floors, and beautifully preserved decorative fireplaces with both marble and wood mantels, each residence exudes classic character. Natural light pours in from the second floor all the way up to the penthouse, enhancing the sense of space throughout. And those apartments also enjoy stunning, unobstructed views overlooking Tompkins Square Park. > > > > > There are 4 full-floor apartments: The garden floor, former home of Jazz great Charlie Parker, with a private landscaped garden, a grand parlor floor with original pocket doors and 3 decorative fireplaces, and the third and fourth floors, each with 2 bedrooms. The fourth floor has an open country kitchen and an exposed brick wall in the living room. The Penthouse apartment is set-back, with a huge private deck, skylights, and a loft space over the bedroom. Previously configured, the Garden and Parlor floor apartments can easily be combined to create an owner's duplex! And live in your dream owner's duplex while enjoying income! > > > > > It also has the honor of 3 designations: The New York City Landmarks Preservation Commission, The State Register of Historic Places, and The National Register of Historic Places. Asking price: $7.2 million. The building was last on the market in 2015 for $9.25 million. Jazz booker Judy Rhodes bought the property in 1979, reportedly for $90,000.

But for a short time in 1929, Bix Beiderbecke and Frank Trumbauer toured Hawaii. They had ten days off from their work in California with Paul Whiteman. Frank had his pilot’s license and rented a small plane. For seven days and nights, they ate local food, drank good liquor (Hawaii wasn’t yet a state, so Prohibition had not done its work) and jammed with the jazz luminaries. The trip is mentioned in a sentence in Frank’s diaries, but even more tellingly, we hear its effects in the work of Sol Hoopii and Andy Iona. Guitarist Mikiya Matsuda learned of this trip from friends of his great-aunt, but asked me to reveal no other details. But that knowledge was the seed for an evocative tribute to the music of 1929-30, inspired by Bix Beiderbecke and Frank Trumbauer, created by Andy Iona and Sol Hoopli and others. I was privileged to see and record this one-hour tribute, which took place at the Redwood Coast Music Festival in Eureka, California, on Sunday, October 5, 2025. The small but lyrically expansive orchestra on the stage of the Sequoia Center was Mikiya Matsuda and the Alcatraz Islanders: Mikiya Matsuda, leader, guitar, lap steel guitar; Andy Schumm, cornet; Colin Hancock, alto saxophone; Jacob Zimmerman, clarinet; T.J. Muller, guitar; Jonathan Doyle, bass saxophone. Their song choices, some of them clear homages to Bix and Tram, others honoring Hawaiian hot jazz of the time, others memorable standards of the period, were SINGIN’ THE BLUES / HANA HANA HAWAII / HULA BLUES / I SURRENDER, DEAR / HULA GIRL / MORE THAN YOU KNOW (a chamber quartet of Mikiya, Jacob, T.J., and Jonathan) / REACHING FOR SOMEONE (And Not Finding Anyone There) / KEIKO / THE MOON OF MANAKOORA / I’LL BE A FRIEND (With Pleasure). The results are both emotionally deep and historically fascinating. Mikiya and friends will be appearing at the 2026 Redwood Coast Music Festival (October 1-4) and I can’t wait to hear what delights they will have for us. **_May your happiness increase!_** ### Share this: * Click to share on X (Opens in new window) X * Click to email a link to a friend (Opens in new window) Email * Click to print (Opens in new window) Print * Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window) Reddit * More * * Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) Facebook * Like Loading...
