'Donna Lee' works better if you understand the harmony that underpins it (it is based on the chords to '(Back Home Again In) Indiana'). Without that knowledge, it is a stream of gibberish. If you play it along with the chords, it is perfectly melodic.
And, for the record, it is a Miles Davis tunes, NOT a Charlie Parker tune.
