The year 1940 was much like the preceding years for jazz and jazzmen. The war in Europe at first affected American music lightly. Glenn Miller became the kingpin of popular music and his big brassy dance band occasionally served up intriguing samples of good jazz. Then came Pearl Harbor. It was suddenly a different world a new period of adjustment for everyone and gradually as the war years continued there came into being a new jazz. Conceived by the younger crop of musicians in informal off-the-job sessions it was at first called re-bop. Then as Charlie Parker Theolonius Monk Dizzy Gillespie and others continued their experiments—and started recording them—the term switched to bebop then progressive jazz and as the decade ended it became generally known as "cool" music.
This was a dismal era for the "big" bands and only a few remained intact from the 1930s Stan Kenton was the only new maestro to make good with full-sized brass reed and rhythm sections—and his success unquestionably was based on his dogged belief that jazz must "progress with the times".
