Abstract

The article focuses on Charlie Parker's assertion that bebop (bop) is distinct from traditional jazz, emphasizing its independence and innovation. Topics include Parker's views on bebop's minimal connection to jazz roots, its preference for small band settings, and its emphasis on clean, rhythmic complexity over traditional jazz's steady beat.
