Episode Overview
The impact of the bop revolution reached various musicians, yet it never attained the widespread popularity of swing. With its fast-paced solos and intricate chord progressions, bop was designed for musicians rather than dancers. In fact, the music of Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie even distanced some established artists, such as Louis Armstrong. "Risk" offers a detailed look at Parker's vibrant but short-lived life, featuring conversations with his ex-wife among other insights.
