Bebop is small-group art music that was created by African Americans as an alternative to the functional, white-dominated commercial music of swing.
Bebop transformed into mainstream entertainment in the 1940s but kept its strong sub-cultural resonance.
Here, Scott Deveaux, has written a commanding work on jazz history, successfully integrating musicology, biography and cultural history.
LA Times "...belongs on the short list of absolutely vital jazz historical works."
