“I just don't see myself in that place where I really want to bop anymore.”
John Mayer
“Playing 'Bop' is like playing Scrabble with all the vowels missing”
Duke Ellington
“We play what I call 'soul jazz,' ... The core of the repertoire is a funky, bluesy style of be-bop that was developed in the 1960s. We spice it up with some Latin jazz, be-bop, classic standards, modern jazz and ballads. We perform a variety of stuff.”
Dave Nelson
“Now's the time - Oop Bop Shbam!!”
Charlie Parker
“You can't walk up 52nd Street and see the Three Deuces or the Onyx Club and see where Bee Bop was born, ... You can't go to Max's Kansas City and listen where the Velvet Underground were. You can't go pretty much anywhere on Bleecker and McDougal and see the clubs that fomented folk music. But you can come to CBGB's on any random night and see six wacky bands from anywhere.”
Lenny Kaye
“Be-bop of the '50s vintage as played by all the old-timers is great, but it's old and none of the new younger musicians are aware of it, really. In the back of my mind, I had thought about bringing it up to this time frame so it would attract the younger musicians.”
