How is bebop different from swing?
Bebop is far more musically complex than its Big Band Swing forbearer. Tempos are often much faster (although the Bebop style can be played at any tempo). Bebop melodies are more intricate and difficult to play than swing melodies. Bebop musicians improvise far more complex solos than those of the Swing Era.
Why is it called bebop?
The name bebop is simply imitative in origin: it came from a vocalized version of the clipped short notes that characterized the sound of this new musical language, which was often performed at fast tempos with off-the-beat rhythms reflected in the name bebop itself.
Who was the dominant figure in bebop? Considered the joint founder of bebop, along with Dizzy Gillespie, alto saxophonist Charlie Parker brought a new level of harmonic, melodic, and rhythmic sophistication to jazz.
