PDF-[DOWNLOAD]-The Birth of Bebop: A Social and Musical History

The richest place in Americas musical landscape is that fertile ground occupied by jazz Scott DeVeaux takes a central chapter in the history of jazzthe birth of bebopand shows how our contemporary ideas of this uniquely American art form flow from that pivotal moment At the same time he provides an extraordinary view of the United States in the decades just prior to the civil rights movement DeVeaux begins with an examination of the Swing Era focusing particularly on the position of African American musicians He highlights the role played by tenor saxophonist Coleman Hawkins a progressive committed to a vision in which black jazz musicians would find a place in the world commensurate with their skills He then looks at the young musicians of the early 1940s including Charlie Parker Dizzy Gillespie and Thelonious Monk and links issues within the jazz world to other developments on the American scene including the turmoil during World War II and the pervasive racism of the period Throughout DeVeaux places musicians within the context of their professional world paying close attention to the challenges of making a living as well as of making good music He shows that bebop was simultaneously an artistic movement an ideological statement and a commercial phenomenon In drawing from the rich oral histories that a living tradition provides DeVeauxs book resonates with the narratives of individual lives While The Birth of Bebop is a study in American cultural history and a critical musical inquiry it is also a fitting homage to bebop and to those who made it possible.
