Answers: Bebop, or bop, is simply another term for modern jazz. It is a style that owes it's origins to two men: Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie. Dizzy even went so far as to give Parker the lion's share of the credit. In Dizzy's autobiography "To Be or Not to Bop" Dizzy describes meeting Parker c. 1940 when he was in KC on tour with Cab Calloway's big band and the two stayed up all night and jammed, just alto sax and trumpet, and worked out the style, since both had similar ideas and were excited to find another virtuoso who could handle the technical demands of playing at very fast tempos.
Frustrated by having to pay royalties to music publisher's to play popular tunes of the day, Parker and Gillespie took those same tunes and altered them radically based on the chord changes, so that the original was perceptible, but just barely. Thus "How High the Moon" becomes "Ornithology".
Bop required extremely fast tempos, which made it unpopular with dancers (and whites for the most part) but very popular with serious jazz fans who enjoyed the fresh sounds emanating from Minton's, Monroe's and other early bebop pubs in New York in the 1940s and early 1950s.
Bebop was the parent style for most modern players today, which is the offshoot branded Hard Bop, with early progenitors such as Horace Silver, Art Blakey, Clifford Brown, Max Roach, Miles Davis, Dexter Gordon and John Coltrane, among many hundreds of worthy players. Source(s):
Former music teacher and jazz radio host on public radio (17 years). bebop IS jazz. Bepop was a popular type of jazz in the 50's, mostly propegated by Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie 'Bird' Parker. Check out the link below: bebob would be more like hip-hop and jazz would be more like saxiphone type stuff. I did my research on music types on wickipedia. It worked well for me. jazz has very specific rules it follows. Pure jazz, that is, not, pop-jazz or anything.
