Just reflect on the period when the big band players of pre WW II made the transition in small combos (BEBOP) and we had Clark, Harry "Sweet" Edison,Art Farmer,Howard McGhee,Thad Jones,et al ...

How could we forget Thad who in "April In Paris" stood up and played that famous nursey rhyme "Pop Goes The Weasel."

Music is the food of love !
Long Live Bebop !
