* Cowboy Bebop poster out of Newtype Magazine (the Japanese one; poster is from a few years ago). features text that reads, New York in 1941...Young, high sense jazz players came together at "Mintons Play House" in Harlem. They were fed up with existinc jazz plays, and desired to play freely as they'd like. At this club opening to everyone who want to play, they had jam sessions over again every night and competed with others. Eventually they did create a new style of jazz. It was definitely new mode, not just new song. Soon after that, it became to be called "BE BOP". Then, at the space in 2071...Bounty hunters came together in the space ship, "BEBOP". They had everything their own way, never cared about risks and broke up fixed style. They'd have new dream, and later it'll become of new film. This work, which is new mode itself, would be called, "COWBOY BEBOP". ahh, engrish. :)
