The Bebop genre, which emerged in the late 1940s during the golden age of Swing, broke new ground in contrast to dance-oriented jazz melodies that were popular at the time. The high-paced bebop rhythms created performances that the audience focused only on the stage, being admired by improvisations and solos. The best examples of this genre, which is still an important part of the jazz language today, takes place in Akbank Jazz Festival with Bebop Project. Şenova Ülker on trumpet, Engin Recepoğulları on tenor saxophone, Önder Focan on guitar, Ozan Musluoğlu on bass and Ayhan Öztoplu on drums, the quartet will take the stage, performing tunes of Bebop giants Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Clifford Brown, Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk and also their originals.
