| | Bebop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Bebop or bop is a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos and improvisation based on harmonic structure rather than melody. | | | Bebop composers and improvisers, particularly Charlie Parker, stylistically employed frequent use of upper chord tones, i.e., ninths, elevenths, and thirteenths, creating a more colorful and rich harmonic sound than past jazz styles. | | | Many bebop tunes were based on chord progressions (also called chord changes) from popular songs, which allowed recording artists to avoid paying copyright fees. |

| | Cowboy Bebop - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | One of the most notable elements of Cowboy Bebop is its music, mostly performed by Yoko Kanno and her band, The Seatbelts. | | | It would not be an exaggeration to say that the jazz-and-blues-themed soundtrack defines the series as much as the characters, writing, or animation; many fans find the soundtracks enjoyable to listen to as albums on their own merits. | | | The music of Cowboy Bebop was all composed by Yoko Kanno, who also composed music for Earth Girl Arjuna, Macross Plus, Vision of Escaflowne, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Wolf's Rain. |

| | Jazz History - Bebop |
| | Disregarding elaborate big band arrangements central to the swing era style, bebop musicians streamlined their bands with four to six musicians, creating a vehicle specifically designed for exploring the improvisational elements of music. | | | Staples of the bebop repertoire included such tunes as "Ornithology," "Donna Lee," "Groovin' High," and "Hot House." Their fast pulse and enriched harmonic vocabulary defined a new direction for jazz, no longer a dance music but a new art form unto itself. | | | Complex harmonic sense was required to perform the music, leaving many swing musicians behind, who simply relied on their ears to guide them through the chord changes. |

| | Marc Sabatella's Jazz Improvisation Primer: Bebop |
| | While, as with previous styles, much use was made of the blues and popular songs of the day, including songs by George Gershwin and Cole Porter, the original compositions of the bebop players began to diverge from popular music for the first time, and in particular, bebop was not intended to be dance music. | | | The birth of bebop in the 1940's is often considered to mark the beginning of modern jazz. | | | Miles, Monk, and Mingus went on to further advances in the post-bebop eras, and their music will be discussed later. |
