A new school of young musicians turned the traditional form of jazz on it's head and brought about a new way of presenting songs without words that would itself evolve into the vocalese of the likes of Lambert, Hendricks and Ross, Eddie Heywood and King Pleasure. The pioneer of this style - on record, at least, was Babs Gonzales who, with a few like-minded souls, created a vocal bebop where wordless singing gave voice to the kind of sounds that Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and others were creating instrumentally. On this new Jasmine collection, you can hear the evolution of this then-unique concept as it took place in the late 1940s and early 1950s, with Babs and his vocal cohorts supported instrumentally by some of the key musicians of the emerging bebop scene. The titles might not always make much sense - but the music does, and it's easy to see why this new style gripped the imagination of a new generation of jazz fans in the same way that rock 'n' roll would capture the imagination of a 1950s young America who were bored with traditional pop music. Babs would eventually go on to pioneer his own style of 'rapping' that would be the start of the road to hip hop. That's another saga for another CD - but here Jasmine brings you more than two dozen examples of the work of the man who made vocalese sound easy, in chronological order and in the best sound of any Gonzales anthology so far.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOop-Pop-A-Da - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStompin' at the Savoy - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLop-Pow - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePay Dem Dues - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDob-Bla-Bli - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBabs' Dream - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1280 Special - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEverything Is Cool - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePhipps' Deep - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoy's Groove - Babs' Three Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoop-Plu-E-Du - Six Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHoneysuckle Bop - Six Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Lesson on Bopology - Six Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Choice Taste - Six Bips and a Bop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessor Bop - Babs Gonzales and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapitolizing - Babs Gonzales and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSt Louis Blues - Babs Gonzales and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReal Crazy - Babs Gonzales and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThen You'll Be Boppin' Too - Babs Gonzales and His Orchestra\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSugar Ray - Babs Gonzales and His International Jazz Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCool Whalin' - Babs Gonzales and His International Jazz Men\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGet Out That Bed - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Boss Is Back (Ornithology) - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStill Wailin - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShuckin' and Jivin' - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBe Bop Santa Claus - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHouse Rent Party - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShe's Just Right for Me - Babs Gonzales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Alliance - BT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46983435288797,"sku":"604988281620","price":90.0,"currency_code":"CNY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/1056\/6043\/files\/4425097-3389742.jpg?v=1762925403","url":"https:\/\/darksiderecords.myshopify.com\/products\/babs-gonzales-bips-bops-cool-scat-from-a-cool-cat-1947-1956","provider":"Darkside Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
