"Anthropology " (also known as "Thriving from a Riff " or "Thriving on a Riff ") is a bebop -style jazz composition that is credited to Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie .[1] Parker stated in 1949 that Gillespie had played no part in its writing, and that others had added the trumpeter as co-composer.[1]
It is a contrafact , being based on the harmony of "I Got Rhythm ".[2] The first recording of the composition, then known as "Thriving from a Riff", was made on November 26, 1945, by an ensemble led by Parker.[2] The other musicians were trumpeter Miles Davis , pianist Argonne Thornton , bassist Curley Russell , and drummer Max Roach .[2]
