Hi everyone
Congratulations to all of you on completing your compositions, Mr M and I enjoyed listening to them all.
This week we will be looking at the styles of Bebop and Cool Jazz, listening to pieces by the late great Charlie Parker and Miles Davis.
Have a look at this video of Charlie Parker and Dizzie Gillespie playing together in 1951 and post a response to this question:
What are some of the characteristics of Bebop you notice in this clip?

Thanks KM Day,
ReplyDeleteGillespie is probably most famous for his recordings of "A Night in Tunisia" and "Salt Peanuts" (as heard in class).
Chack out the air passings through his whole face. There was another trumpet player who did the same... anyone have any ideas??
Mr. M
was it raph harvey??
ReplyDeleteor james morrison
the song was very chromatic and difficult to play, the instruments used were common in bebop as well, the two main instruments being the sax and trumpet which both played tricky solos and the rhythm section was made up of bass and piano
hassa it was defs raph harvey
ReplyDeletebut wow amazing solos
