"Confirmation" is a bebop standard composed by saxophonist Charlie Parker in 1946. It is known as a challenging number due to its long, complex head and rapid chord changes, which feature an extended cycle of fifths (see Bird changes).

Many notable musicians have performed the standard, including:

  • Charlie Parker & Dizzy Gillespie
  • Philly Joe Jones
  • Jackie McLean
  • Kenny Clarke
  • George Shearing
  • Bud Powell
  • Art Blakey
  • Ron Carter
  • Dexter Gordon
