About bebop

Bebop or bop is a style of jazz developed in the early to mid-1940s in the United States. It is characterized by a fast tempo, complex chord progressions—with rapid chord changes, changes of key, angular melodies and substitute chords—along with virtuosic improvisation based on a combination of harmonic structure, scales, and occasional references to the melody.
