Didn’t bother reading because of the authors lack of knowledge that surfaced in the first paragraph. First: Hot jazz was a style that was being used around the time of Louis Armstrongs Hot 5, 7’s etc. It was used for older jazz. Not bebop. Bebop was the sound of jazz on the east coast and cool was the sound on the west coast. Also, most people consider the turning point in jazz to be Bird and Diz. Miles was a stylistic revolutionary. As great as he was, he did not change the vocabulary of jazz in the way Charlie Parker did.
Nevertheless, I dugg this up because it is about one of my favorite musicians of all time. If anyone takes the time to discover the music because of this article the world will be a better place.
