I don't get this logic. Bach would have been, probably, as good as Charlie Parker. Bach was great in HIS idiom and time. This word "classical" is simply incorrect. One might would suspect that Charlie Parker and Dizzy listened.

If Bach isn't classical, and he used 11th and 13th chords then why did you post that. Classical chords, there was a classical era and "most of it" was dominated with simple chord shapes. And how can you even compare Charlie Parker to Bach??
