[Dixielandjazz] Did Bop Kill Jazz?

[Marek Boym]

Definitely - some.  Same goes for OKOM, but whereas I am prepared to listen 
to not-so-good Dixie, I am only prepared to listen to excellent bop.  Still 
love the Gillespie/Parker recordings, whether studio or Massey Hall.  And 
Parker's Cole Porter album is still among my favourites (and has been for 
the last 40 years).
Cheers
