by Thomas Owens
- 2 Want to read
In Bebop, Owens conducts us on an insightful, loving tour through the music, players, and recordings that changed American culture.
Combining vivid portraits of bebop's gigantic personalities with deft musical analysis, he ranges from the early classics of modern jazz (starting with the 1943 Onyx Club performances of Dizzy Gillespie, Max Roach, Oscar Pettiford, Don Byas, and George Wallington) through the central role of Charlie Parker, to an instrument-by-instrument look at the key players and their innovations.
