Comment:

This mix was compiled for an AOTMer who's interested in jazz but doesn't have much in her collection. It's kind of an introduction to Bop. It starts off with Jack Kerouac setting the scene, describing a wild night at a smoky, crowded jazz club where Charlie Parker is playing. It's followed by Parker's short (3 minute) rendition of "Hot House", which is followed by Eric Dolphy's extended (19 minute) version. Kerouac then comes back to give his own poetical version of how Bop was born. In it he mentions, even sings a little of, "Salt Peanuts", so Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker's rendition of "Salt Peanuts" follows. What follows that is a series of Bop classics, concluding with Thelonious Monk's solo rendition of "'Round Midnight". (The "Beyond" part in the mix title refers to Miles Davis' "Bitches Brew" which is on disc 2). The cover is Charlie Parker in 1949.
