Download or read book The Birth of Bebop written by Scott DeVeaux and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 610 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The richest place in America's musical landscape is that fertile ground occupied by jazz. Scott DeVeaux takes a central chapter in the history of jazz—the birth of bebop—and shows how our contemporary ideas of this uniquely American art form flow from that pivotal moment. At the same time, he provides an extraordinary view of the United States in the decades just prior to the civil rights movement. DeVeaux begins with an examination of the Swing Era, focusing particularly on the position of African American musicians. He highlights the role played by tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins, a "progressive" committed to a vision in which black jazz musicians would find a place in the world commensurate with their skills. He then looks at the young musicians of the early 1940s, including Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk, and links issues within the jazz world to other developments on the American scene, including the turmoil during World War II and the pervasive racism of the period. Throughout, DeVeaux places musicians within the context of their professional world, paying close attention to the challenges of making a living as well as of making good music. He shows that bebop was simultaneously an artistic movement, an ideological statement, and a commercial phenomenon. In drawing from the rich oral histories that a living tradition provides, DeVeaux's book resonates with the narratives of individual lives. While The Birth of Bebop is a study in American cultural history and a critical musical inquiry, it is also a fitting homage to bebop and to those who made it possible.
Download or read book Easy Easy Bebop written by D. N. Rhythm and published by . This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For years people have asked me to put what I showed them into a book. This book is my contribution to music education. This concept opens up many possibilities of phrasing that develop and flow easily. This concept was developed while living, playing and tutoring in New York City. Bebop licks, lines and phrases are still used in most of today's different forms of music. In this book you'll find licks and phrases you can use for Soul, Funk, Hip Hop Jazz, Cool Jazz, Smooth Jazz and easy Bebop tunes.This book uses words to help give jazz notation easy to remember sound qualities. Just as the famous "Cry me a river" jazz lick is used to teach a specific bebop lick, this book has many useful jazz licks.Basic Example,Notes = C D E GNumbers = 1 2 3 5Easy to remember words,Words = "Play some be - bop"Numbers = 1 2 3 5The above example uses the simple first 4 notes of the pentatonic scale to show the notes to words approach. This book uses many of the typical scales used in music. These scales become less simple and more musical in edited and inverted form. Most of the music we hear and play use the same scales and notes. It's usually the syncopation of the rhythm and arrangement of the notes that makes the different styles of music. This book has edited down the scales to the licks, lines and phrases used from BEBOP to FUNK, HIP HOP, NEW JACK SWING, COOL and SMOOTH JAZZ. Most of today's music still has a huge bebop influence, so first think simple bebop when reading the notes and words in this book. Once the sounds are in your ear, they'll come out naturally in other styles of music. Just follow the rhythm of the style of music you're playing. Listen to a drummer and follow his accents and you can usually play a variation of what you like to play. Written music is a good tool to show musicians the notes. Words are used to express the feeling of the music. Rhythm provides the groove and pulse of the music. Take time and try all of the examples in this book. Say the words and play the notes. Find the ones that flow freely from your instrument. This is not a technical struggle. Have fun.This book is my contribution to the "Wonderful world of jazz".

Download or read book The Masters Of Bebop written by Ira Gitler and published by Da Capo Press. This book was released on 2009-02-18 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Back in the early 1940s, late at night in the clubs of Harlem, a handful of jazz musicians began to experiment with a style that no one had ever heard before. The music was fast, complicated, impossible to play for many of the older musicians—but it soon became the lingua franca of jazz music. They called it bebop, and as the years went by, it became even more popular. Today it reigns as perhaps the best-loved style of jazz ever created. Ira Gitler conveys the excitement of this musical birth as only someone who was there can. In The Masters of Bebop, Gitler traces the advent of what was a revolution in sound. He profiles the leading players—Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillepie, Max Roach—but also studies the style and music of the first disciples, such as Dexter Gordon and J. J. Johnson, to reveal bebop’s pervasive influence throughout American culture. Revised with an updated discography—and with a new chapter covering bebop right up through the end of the twentieth century—The Masters of Bebop is the essential listener’s handbook.
