The difference between Swing and Bebop

[ctsooner]

My buddy, who's dad used to sit in on drums with Tommy Dorsey  and was in charge of Oklahoma Univ music Dept for years.  My buddy Rick is a bassoonist and drummer.  He was the drum major at my school when I was there too.  We constantly share new music or older stuff with background and history.  He just sent me this one and I had to share.  He hopes you all enjoy this.  I haven't even seen the whole thing yet, but I have to leave for the day and wanted to post before I forgot.

I can't play this on my Office PC(Audio to the Memory Player),

but will do it on my laptop. Looks interesting.

Yup, that sounds about right to me.

I love the first two, but the last is one of my least favorite.

Louis Armstrong disliked bebop too.
