Creation

Time period: 1940-1955

Started in WWII with big band Jazz being the leading style. Groups often consisted of one or two horns, usually saxophone and/or trumpet, bass, drums, and piano. A bebop tune, however, would simply consist of a statement of the head, or main theme, extended solos over the head’s harmonic structure, and then one final statement of the head. It was common for bebop musicians to compose new, complex melodies over well-known chord progressions
