- List of Bebop jazz standards
Bebop jazz standards are jazz tunes from the 1940s and 1930s that are widely known, performed, and recorded among jazz musicians. Bebop is a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos and improvisation based on harmonic structure rather than melody, that was developed in the early and mid-1940s. Hard bop later developed from bebop combined with blues and gospel music.
