"Au Privave" is the title of a 1951 bebop jazz standard composed by Charlie Parker. While the title appears to be French, the word "privave" is not a standard French word, making the meaning of the title unclear and likely a playful invention of Parker's. Some speculate it might be a mishearing or mispronunciation of "Après Vous" (After You), a title used by Max Roach for a similar tune. 
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Song:
"Au Privave" is a 12-bar blues composition in F major, known for its bebop style. 
The Title:
The title's origin is not definitively known, but it's believed to be a deliberate wordplay by Parker. 
Possible Interpretations:
Some theories suggest it's a playful mishearing or misspelling of "Après Vous," a French phrase meaning "After You". 
Context:
Parker was known for his improvisational style and sometimes used unconventional or made-up words in his titles.
