About the project

BopLand.org is a free knowledge database for improvising musicians. It contains thousands of jazz licks over most common chord progressions. While not only oriented towards jazz musicians, but towards other musicians as well, the majority of patterns present in the database were composed during the bebop era. Hence comes the name.

The main contributors of the project are Clifford Brown, Bill Evans, Stan Getz, John Lewis, Thelonious Monk, Lee Morgan, Gerry Mulligan, Charlie Parker, Joe Pass, Sonny Rollins. From the technical point of view the project is based on the lick rendering web service provided by my.BopLand.org.

Did we say the project is free?... That's a lie. You will pay by creating wonderful music, by making other people smile, by reshaping and solidifying this material and bequeathing it to those, who will do the same. At least we hope so. Enjoy!
