You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

She later married musician [[Phil Woods]].

She was born in New York City to an inter-religious couple; her father, a producer of [[vaudeville]] shows, was Jewish, while her mother, a dancer in [[Florenz Ziegfeld]]'s Midnight Frolic, was not. Adopting the name "Chan Richardson," Parker became a nightclub dancer.<ref>((cite web |title=My Life in E-Flat: Chan Parker |url=https://uscpress.com/My-Life-in-E-flat |website=University of South Carolina Press |access-date=27 October 2021))</ref> An early jazz enthusiast, she was romantically connected in the 1940s and early 1950s with jazz musicians [[Johnny Bothwell]] and later [[Don Lanphere]].<ref name="jazztimes">Siders, Harvey.

Chan met Charlie Parker in the 1940s, but their friendship was not romantic until around 1950. Chan and Charlie lived together in a [[common law marriage| common law relationship]] on [[New York's Lower East Side]] for the last five years of Charlie's life, from 1950 to 1955. However, Charlie had not formally terminated a prior marriage. Chan already had one child, her daughter Kim, at the time they established their household; together, Chan and Charlie had had two more children, Baird and Pree. Although they never legally wed, Chan took Charlie's surname, as did all the children. Their relationship was dealt a severe blow with the 1953 death of their 2-1/2 year old daughter, Pree, from [[pneumonia]] related to a congenital heart defect.<ref>((cite web |last1=Burns |first1=Ken |title=Featured Video: Risk |time=1:41 |url=https://www.pbs.org/kenburns/jazz/ |website=Jazz: A Film by Ken Burns |publisher=Public Broadcasting Service |access-date=26 March 2022))</ref>

==Later years and death==
Charlie Parker died just a year and a week after their daughter, in 1955, not long before he would have turned 35.<ref>[https://www.pbs.org/jazz/about/pdfs/Parker.pdf A PBS interview of Parker for the documentary ''Jazz'']</ref> 
Two years after Parker's death, Chan married saxophonist Phil Woods and moved to France, where she spent much of the rest of her life. She had another daughter from his marriage, Aimée Francesca Woods (1961-1993). In 1981, Chan helped write and edit a book of photographs of Charlie Parker titled ''To Bird with Love''<ref>((cite book |last1=Parker |first1=Chan |last2=Paudras |first2=Francis |title=To Bird with love |date=1981 |publisher=WIZLOV |isbn=978-2903577001))</ref><ref>((cite news |last1=Ratliff |first1=Ben |title=Francis Paudras, 62, Patron of Jazz Pianist Bud Powell |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/12/17/arts/francis-paudras-62-patron-of-jazz-pianist-bud-powell.html |access-date=29 October 2021 |work=New York Times |date=17 December 1997))</ref> and later wrote the autobiographical memoir ''My Life in E-Flat''.<ref>((cite book |last1=Parker |first1=Chan |title=My Life in E-Flat |date=1999 |publisher=Univ. of South Carolina Press |isbn=1-57003-245-9))</ref> The second book was published in 1999, the year of her death from cancer, aged 74, in [[Étampes]], France.<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1999/09/19/nyregion/chan-parker-74-known-as-jazzman-s-wife.html|title=Chan Parker, 74, Known as Jazzman's Wife|newspaper=The New York Times|date=19 September 1999))</ref>
