Bebop and the Musicians Who Shaped a Style

By: Smith, Kaelyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Bebop rose out of the WWII era Big Band Swing Jazz as "musicians music," substituting technical virtuosity for commercial appeal. Characterized by faster tempos, increased dissonance and high levels of technical ability and showmanship, bebop Jazz boasted some of the most significant Jazz musicians in history and was, indeed, defined by their incredible talents. This book introduces the Bebop style of Jazz music and discusses the musicians who shaped and defined it.
