Bop

Bop is a style of jazz music that emerged in the 1940s and 50s, characterized by its fast tempo, complex melodies, and improvisational solos. It was developed by a group of younger jazz musicians, such as Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, and Thelonious Monk, who wanted to break away from the more traditional swing style of jazz and create something new. Bop was influenced by blues, bebop, and Latin music, and is known for its angular rhythms, chromaticism, and frequent use of dissonance.
