The initial episode of Ancestor Worship examines the recordings of Charlie Parker recorded by Norman Granz for the Norgran, Clef, Mercury and Verve labels in the first half of the 1950s, featuring Bird with Miles Davis, Kenny Dorham, Dizzy Gillespie, Thelonious Monk, Jazz at the Philharmonic and a host of modern jazz pioneers. Ancestor Worship revives a program title introduced by John Sinclair at WCBN-FM in Ann Arbor in 1976.
