BeBopBeBopBeBopBeBop (sometimes simply referred to as BeBop) is an album of bebop standards by pianist Paul Bley recorded in Denmark in 1989 and released on the SteepleChase label.
Reception
Allmusic awarded the album 4 stars calling it "A surprising album from Bley, long considered an outside player with little, if any, affinity for straight bop. He shatters that myth on this set". The Penguin Guide to Jazz said "Bebop is a taxingly inventive and constantly surprising run through a dozen kenspeckle bop tunes".
