Description
Babs Gonzales was a singer who did what he could to popularize bop. He had stints with Charlie Barnet and Lionel Hampton's big bands, and then led his own group (Three Bips & a Bop) during 1946-1949. They recorded during 1947-1949, including the earliest version of "Oop-Pop-A-Da" and such songs as "Weird Lullaby," "Real Crazy," "Professor Bop," and "Prelude to a Nightmare"; among his sidemen on these dates were Tadd Dameron, Tony Scott, Roy Haynes, James Moody, J.J. Johnson, Julius Watkins, Sonny Rollins (making his recording debut), Art Pepper, Wynton Kelly, and even Don Redman. Gonzales later became more of a t figure but this Proper Introduction gives you a real flavour of his Pop Bop
