Learning to play bebop is a tall order for the beginning improvisor. The fast tempos require knowing your chords and scales inside and out. You must also have very good technical capabilities on your instrument. In April of this year I created a post for an Anthropology contrafact in all 12 keys with charts and backing tracks. I have received suggestions subsequently asking me to create backing tracks for Anthropology at a much slower tempo. The following tracks are the Anthropology chord changes with a bossa rhythm section at a tempo of a quarter at 110. If you need the charts you can obtain them from my Anthropology contrafact post. Be sure to practice in all 12 keys.
In the near future I will be posting some charts with some basic ideas to start with when playing over these changes.
