The Birth of Bebop: A Social and Musical History Paperback - 1999
by Scott Deveaux
A fitting homage to bebop and to those who made it possible, DeVeaux shows that this uniquely American art form was simultaneously and artistic movement, an ideological statement, and a commercial phenomenon. Photos. 111 music examples.
From the rear cover
"Authoritative and engrossing--the inside story, full of fascinating insights."--Sonny Rollins
"Moving far beyond the old revolution-evolution paradigms, DeVeaux . . . demonstrates how the creators of this music negotiated a position on the shifting terrain of the American cultural landscape during World War II. In the process he provides a new model for how jazz history might be written."--Mark Tucker, author of Ellington: The Early Years
"A work of scholarship as dizzying as bop itself. Deeply knowing and thrillingly written, The Birth of Bebop is nothing less than the most commanding work ever on its subject. DeVeaux is the Bud Powell of jazz historians."--David Hajdu, author of Lush Life: A Biography of Billy Strayhorn
