THE WORLD OF BEBOP

CJO, Charleston, South Carolina's resident big band, pays tribute to the masters of the birth of modern jazz in its fifth and final season show of its hallmark fifth anniversary season. World of Bebop explores the musical revolution beginning in the 1940s coined as "bebop," celebrating the era's earliest pioneers: Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Clifford Brown, Charlie Christian, and South Carolina's very own, Dizzy Gillespie. Bebop's innovation is now standard language in jazz and is in a world all its own.
