As we discussed at the end of our last class, one of the main influences on Kerouac's prose style is bebop jazz — at the time a relatively new stylistic innovation. To get you in the mood, here are a few selections from some of bop's finest practioners:
Charlie Parker & Miles Davis - Ko Ko
Charlie Parker & Miles Davis - Now's the Time
Charlie Parker & Miles Davis - Ornithology
Dizzy Gillespie - Salt Peanuts
Lester Young - Pennies From Heaven
Lester Young - Lester Leaps In
Slim Gaillard - Cement Mixer (Pu-ti Pu-ti)
