DISCUSSION: Davis played bebop before 1948. Lines 13-15 tell us about bebop by contrasting it with Davis’ new experiment.
Bebop likely had faster rhythms and more solos.
___________
- CORRECT. See lines 13-15. Davis new experiment had slower rhythms and fewer solos than bebop.
- Davis’ new work often evenly balanced ensemble and solo playing. Bebop by contrast seems to have emphasized solo playing.
- We don’t know what led to bebop. We only
know that Davis’ new style was a reaction
against bebop. - Tempting. We know that purists often disliked Davis’ new styles. But there might have been 2-3 styles that the critics considered authentic, instead of just one.
- We know Davis played in New York for a while. But bebop may have been nationwide.
