Bebop Nazi Edit Meaning

1.

Someone who thinks that the only real jazz is bebop and the only kind of improvisation that is for real is bebop lines. Bebop nazis like to refer endlessly to "the language" and discount anyone who isn't playing it in their solos.

Jazz fan: "Hey man, let's go check out the Pharaoh Sanders show at the Iridium tonight!"

Bebop nazi: "Nah, dude, Pharaoh isn't for real. He's not playing the language."
