S1E7 Dedicated to Chaos: 1940-1945

Jan 23, 2001 Season 1 Episode 7 Animation, Sci-Fi & Fantasy

In "Dedicated to Chaos," jazz artists grapple with the constraints of outdated big band styles as they stand on the edge of a new musical era. This movement took root at Minton’s Playhouse, a shabby venue where legends like Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Christian would gather to jam on Monday nights. The scene shifted dramatically when they met a young saxophonist from Kansas City, Charlie Parker, marking the arrival of the bebop revolution.
