Bebop.

Goldfinch60



Bebop,  bebop,  bebop,  dewop,  boo,

The sound form that changed jazz.

Bird was there, to create this sound.

They didn’t understand the music,

Well the oldies don’t when new sounds

Come from the young.

But Charlie and Dizzy drove this sound

Into the fast paced chromatic music,

That I can listen to for hours.

Bebop, so new, so different, so clever.

Bebop a form that is now so old;

Came to us sixty years ago,

A sound that showed that change

Is not all bad.

Bebop, showed the way to many jazz forms.

Cool jazz, that most melancholic of sounds

Was born through the power of bebop.

Bebop showed that music is freedom.
