POST BOP JAZZ STYLES (Was 1959 the most important year?) Jazz History #52

This video introduces a series of episodes focusing on the various styles of jazz that emerged in the 1950s following the bebop era. By almost any account, this was one of the most impactful decades in jazz history, one which foretold a future in which it would become increasingly difficult to define jazz music. You'll also learn about Blue Note and Prestige, two independent record labels that played an outsize role in documenting the music of the post-bop era.
