First line

Parker's suggestion in the last quote is understandable, but modern man seldom settles for such broad, generalized categories.

From the rear cover

In Bebop, Owens conducts us on an insightful, loving tour through the music, players, and recordings that changed American culture. Combining vivid portraits of Bebop's gigantic personalities with deft musical analysis.
