Charlie Parker Quotes
"It's just music. It's trying to play clean and looking for the pretty notes. The beat in a bop band is with the music, against it, behind it. It pushes it. It helps it. Help is the big thing. It has no continuity of beat, no steady chug-chug. Jazz has, and that's why bop is more flexible." - Charlie Parker
Duke Ellington Quotes
"Playing 'Bop' is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing." - Duke Ellington
