Bebop was created in NYC clubs during WWII during club dates that occurred during the recording strikes and shellac shortages. Bebop didn't get commercial play until soldiers came home and heard the new sounds put down by Bird, Diz, and Monk. In many ways, bebop and jump blues filled the gap between the two "music for dancing": swing and rock and roll.
