The document provides an overview of the development of bebop jazz. It began as a reaction to the decline of big swing bands following World War II. Key figures like Thelonious Monk, Dizzy Gillespie, and Charlie Parker developed bebop in small clubs in Harlem, focusing on technical virtuosity, complex harmony, and fast tempos. Bebop moved jazz away from dance music and charts toward an emphasis on improvisation and establishing the saxophone as a lead instrument. Examples include Charlie Parker's "Anthropology" and Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight."

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

potential for accidental structured harmony was to be avoided.
Most pianists were not comfortable with such restrictions
Parallels traditional music history’s 20th century
music.
Composers began to reject the use of:
Rules
scales
