Teacher and vocalist Nanette Perrotte leads this class on the Birth of the Cool: Big Band Swings into Bebop.  The Bebop movement originated during the early 1940s in the playing of trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Miles Davis  and saxophonist Charlie Parker. There was a strong group of vocalists who made a mark in the style as well such as Sarah Vaughan.  Brought to you with federal funds provided by the Institute of Museum and Library Services and administered by the Massachusetts Board of Library Commissioners.
