Here’s the updated version of Charlie Parker’s three chorus solo on Blues for Alice. Make sure to listen to the recording and learn it with that. You should never learn a transcription without listening to it a lot! I hope you enjoy!

Blues for Alice-Bird’s Solo-Tenor Sax
(The tenor part goes well into the altissimo register; I tried to put it in EXACTLY as Bird played it. You may have to drop certain parts an octave lower for technical reasons; if so, you can reference the trumpet part, which goes too low in some places. There’s not a convenient solution because there is either a compromise on playing something in the right octave, or it’s just really hard to play-but who said Bird was supposed to be easy to play?)
