BoBop is a 5 minute showpiece for solo violin in Bebop style. Recorded by Thom Gould on his Bach to Parker CD, it has been played many times and most recently in two performances in Brighton by Ellie Blackshaw. A version for viola has been performed in the UK by Yuko Inoue and in the USA by Patricia McCarty. Ellie Blackshaw will be playing BoBop again on 23rd July at the Chapel Royal Brighton.
