«L'Épopée du jazz, tome 2: Au-delà du bop» is the music essay by Franck Bergerot and Arnaud Merlin, in paperback (160 pages, in French).
The essay starts from the musical culture of African American slaves and its fusion with the traditions of their masters: from religious song to Negro spiritual, from ballad to blues, and from brass band to jazz band. It narrates the expansion of jazz from New Orleans, the worldwide dominance of swing, and the renewal of be-bop, embodied by Charlie Parker.
Second volume of the series «L'Épopée du jazz», published on September 26, 1991 in the Découvertes Gallimard collection.
A popularizing work intended for jazz enthusiasts and for readers who want to learn about its evolution as a major art.
