| Abstract: | The Bebop era is arguably the most influential era in jazz history. Bebop vocabulary was an innovation which grew from Swing music and would eventually revolutionize the jazz language. The chromatic embellishments of the melodies, the intense and complex rhythmic vocabulary, the aggressive energy, the call-and-response conversation, and collective group improvisation are amongst the qualities musicians today still study and imitate. Based on these musical developments, the Bebop era was particularly important with regard to the development of jazz drumming style. The focus of this project is to survey and discuss the preeminent literature on Bebop drumming, and to compose content that will contribute constructively to this existing literature. |
