In their heyday, Tull recordings provided some of the most intelligent, lyrical rock available.
They still do.

Three Little Bops
I would have seen this for the first time when I was six years old in 1957.
It explains a lot.

Re: Real Bop - Dizzy Gillespie & Charlie Parker - Koko
It sounds to me more like bebop, that is bop in cut time,2-4, quite often played as 6-8; whereas bop is in common time, 4-4, quite often played as 12-8, particularly in 12 bar blues or boogie-woogie.

Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
I was considering bop=bebop. I've never been a big bebop fan - I like more open space in my jazz, not the Gillespie/Parker school of "how many notes can you fit in a bar" (and Koko is there). Although the do like the John Coltrane "sheets of notes" thing (which isn't bebop).
But then there was Thelonious Monk - He more or less had a school of his own, and I love it. The mainstream bopers thought his music was weird (or something), at least at first. I presume you're familiar with Monk's "Brilliant Corners"? The story goes that at the original recording, they did something like 28 takes and never could get it right. They had to patch parts of takes together to get the final version.
Speaking of Monk, have you heard Cecil Taylor's version of Bemsha Swing? It's on Taylor's first (I believe) album, "Jazz Advance". It was issued or at least reissued on Blue Note.
I am a fan of bebop's decedent, hard bop. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers are wonderful.
Of course, the division between bebop and hard bop is fuzzy.
So, does the 3 pigs thing qualify as bop? I would tend to file it under swing.

Re: Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
The pigs. Hmmm. Could possibly called swing, fine line between boppy jazz styles. I'm more into the bluesy styles myself. I will have to go back and check the pigs out again and listen a bit closer. Will get back to this later.

Re: Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
If I could only listen to one genre of music, it would be blues.
I can find something to like in every genre of music except one--opera. I just cannot abide it.
Tell me...do you have a soundtrack in your head? I do. There seems to be a DJ function in my brain that spins up appropriate (or hysterically or sardonically inappropriate) music to accompany nearly every waking moment. I also find that my brain attempts to resolve white noise/ambient sounds into music.
I've asked friends about this from time to time. Some say yes, some say no--and some say I didn't realize I did until you asked, and now I can't turn it off you bastard.

Re: Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
One reason I constantly have music playing is so I don't have a soundtrack in my head. When I do It is usually some song , I can't stand which drives me batty. I put on one of my CDs and "exorcise" the evil tune.

Re: Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
I sometimes have to do that, but mostly my soundtrack is good.
At present it's Papa John Creach doing the Wild Turkey instrumental with Jefferson Airplane from 1971.
Time to logout and listen.

Re: Bop - Bebop - Hard Bop
You're lucky, I almost never have good soundtracks in my head. What makes matters worse is that at certain times a car will pass with the radio/ CD player playing at full blast, blasting out some song i can't stand and that becomes the soundtrack. Makes me feel like "going postal" on the offender.

LOL....my DJ is a sadistic SOB who often keeps me up at night.
