For people that say "jazz is old people music", "its not relevant today", "its just a bunch of random notes played together" etc just listen to this. This is music to dance to, its just pure fun. That's whats wrong with jazz of today, its put in the same category as classical music i.e. something to be revered and respected that only people with a higher IQ will understand. Jazz isn't just something you listen to when going to a fine dining restaurant, to me its the music I listen to when I need to bust out some moves and break free after a long day's work. Its just pure fun. Edit - 2022 update: I don't know what cringe I was talking about 7 years ago lol. Please ignore, just the ramblings of a silly teen. Still love jazz though.

Well Bebop is the transitional form between Swing and the modal and avant -garde schools, so yeah, its pretty dance-able. However, Jazz evolved well beyond the sixties and influenced everything from Hip-Hop, to Hardcore Punk, and Math Rock. While it may not be apparent to most, Jazz is more relevant today than it ever was.

Of all the many, many versions of this classic Dizzy Gillespie composition, this one stands out like a glittering diamond. The infamous "time stands still" solo by Bird captured here in fullest regalia will stand forever as unequaled. Also, the fabulously unique thrash style drumming by Roy Porter sets this recording apart from all others. Miles somehow steals the limelight from an absentee Dizzy (whom I prefer as a trumpeter personally) and puts his signature on a composition that Gillespie would become rightfully famous for. In short, this Dial records recording merits continual replays and contemplation from all who are prone to being appreciative of the glory that was Bebop.

story of this song: During World War II, the American army fought the German army in North Africa, particularly on Tunisia’s soil. Several thousands of American soldiers died there, their remains now resting in the American cemetery of Carthage. The Second World War represented a crucial moment in the African-Americans empowering movement. Black people fought alongside White people, and were welcomed as heroes by liberated populations. But in the United States, they were still subject to segregation and did not receive the same honors at the end of the war. Thus, the years that followed were years of uprisings which lead to the Civil Rights Movement. The bebop style, introduced during this period by Dizzy Gillespie, Charlie Parker and others, pictured that rebellious spirit perfectly. This innovative style turned its back on big bands’ too conventional and consensual jazz. It developed complex harmonies on a rhythm way faster, more nervous and syncopated, taking inspiration from African rhythms. “A night in Tunisia” belongs to that movement: its rhythm is Afro-Cuban, its harmonies and its melody have something unsettling and exotic which can evoke Orient… or Tunisia. The same Tunisia which represented, during the war, the arrival on the African ground, continent of origin of Black Americans. Thus, this Tunisia where “the moon is the same moon above you […] Never does it shine so bright”, where stars “guide you through the desert sand” and where “the nights are filled with peace” was a beautiful symbol of return to the roots, peace and hope for African-Americans.
