Cedar Bar Redux

Bebop was to the 40’s what Punk Rock was to the 70’s. Noisy and misunderstood. It’s all about the ability to improvise, and in the 1940’s that was kind of strange. Bebop is very complex music, here is my simple way of explaining it. Imagine a band playing your favorite song. Only each guy is kinda doing his own thing within the song. The drummer plays a little faster and there are a few more notes or even a whole extra line in the chorus. That my friends is Bebop! Sort of, it’s more than that. Let’s put it this way, the more you listen, the more you’ll hear.
