Scrapple from the Apple DRUM AND BASS Backing Track - Here the improviser can practice his bebop phrasing on this Charlie Parker theme.

"Scrapple from the Apple" is a bebop theme composed in 1947 by the legendary saxophonist Chalie "Bird" Parker, the great master of BeBop, a style that revolutionized postwar American music and dramatically changed the way jazz was played and appreciated.

This song has the chord progression of "Honeysuckle Rose" in its early part and the bridge is based on rhythm changes.
