[Dixielandjazz] Did Bop Kill Jazz?

[dwsi at aol.com]

 Agree that Bop was never a popular genre. Could care less about "artistic
triumph". Simply disagree that Bop set any wheels in motion that killed
jazz. 


I have a naive question. Many listmates obviously are not big fans of bop, but some are. For those who are: Q. Does anybody really LOVE bop? All I hear is how much I should admire the talent it takes to play it--and how fast the notes come. Is that what boppers dig? What happened to loving the music itself? Maybe I'm just old fashioned.
