"On the heels of swing in 1945, Bebop changed everything. This is the ultimate guide to the innovators, tunes, and attitudes that evolved jazz from a dance music to an art form. Through anecdotal biographies and evocative photos, Bebop portrays the daring musicians who became virtuosos: the Bebop giants, the classic beboppers, and later Bebop figures. Plus you get reviews and ratings of recordings that make (or don't make) the cut, and incisive essays on Bebop then and now - historical insight not found in other guides."--Jacket
