- 1比博普（一種快速、即興多的爵士樂；也常直接說 bebop）
Bebop is a kind of jazz that grew in the United States in the 1940s. It is fast, busy, and full of surprise notes. Players take long solos, change key often, and do not much care whether you can dance. That last point matters: swing jazz of the 1930s was music for the dance floor; bebop was music for listening, often in small clubs, late at night. People also call it bop. Though actually the name does not “mean” anything in the way river or teacher means something. It comes from rebop, mouth-music singers used in scat — nonsense sounds like doo-wop or “doo be doo be doo,” only sharper. Younger listeners may say jazz for all of it; older jazz fans will tell you bebop is one chapter, not the whole book. It can be a noun (“they played bebop”) and, more loosely, a verb (“to bebop” as in play or go in that style), but the noun is the one you will meet in class and on album notes.
組成Not a blend of be + bop with a meaning. It is an alteration of earlier rebop, nonsense syllables from 1940s scat singing, in the same family of mouth-music names as doo-wop.
