Personally I preferred his original work with the Miles Davis band than the later so-called "sheets of sound" style, although he never totally abandoned his brilliance in the lyrical.
I had just broken up with a lovely girl at the time and she left a copy of Giant Steps as a parting gift.
This article which I just happened on has a lot of information on his life and career.

ps fans of Charlie 'Bird' Parker might go searching for a book titled "Bird Lives", a beautiful story of his life and work.
