Bop

Bop, also known as bebop, is a vibrant jazz subgenre that emerged in the early 1940s, defined by rapid tempos and sophisticated harmonic progressions. Pioneered by legends like Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie, bop emphasizes inventive, high-speed improvisation and musical freedom. This revolutionary style reshaped jazz, laying the groundwork for modern movements. Today, bop’s complex virtuosity and creative spirit continue to inspire musicians and enthrall listeners worldwide.
