Intro

Bebop

Sophisticated, progressive style of jazz that emerged in the mid-1940s, pushed by major players such as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. It grew out of trends toward greater harmonic sophistication and emphasis on the solos in swing music that became apparent in the mid-1930s. Bebop is characterized by fast tempos, complex harmonic progressions with quick chord changes and frequent key changes, and virtuosic improvisation.
