What does REBOP mean in Scrabble?
noun
musicinformal
An informal variant term for bebop, the fast, improvisational style of jazz that emerged in the 1940s; also, a nonsense syllable used in scat singing.
Musicians and fans sometimes used rebop interchangeably with bebop in the earlier days of the style, before bebop became the more widely accepted name for the genre. The word also echoes the scat syllables jazz vocalists improvised while singing, where sounds like rebop carried rhythm and feeling rather than literal meaning. Today rebop appears mostly in historical writing about jazz's development rather than in everyday conversation about music.
