Directions: Listen to the passage once and decide whether the following statements are True (T) or False (F).
Script: Charlie Parker forever changed the performance and writing of jazz music. He developed a new style of jazz called bebop. It was different from the dance, or swing, style that was popular for years. Performers of bebop left the traditional musical melody and played a song freely, with the music and rhythm that was felt at the time. So, the same song could be played in a different way each time it was performed. Charlie Parker said: "Music is your own experience, you
r thoughts, your wisdom. If you don't live it, it won't come out of your horn."
Charlie Parker was born August 29th, 1920, in the middle western state of Kansas. He had his first music lessons in the local public schools. His mother bought him a saxophone in 1932. Two years later, he decided to leave school and become a professional musician. For the next four years, he worked mainly in Kansas City, Missouri, where jazz music had become popular.
