Bop-Be is the final album on the Impulse label by jazz pianist Keith Jarrett's 'American Quartet'. Originally released in 1977 it features performances by Jarrett, Dewey Redman, Charlie Haden, and Paul Motian. It is the last album recorded by the American Quartet and the final album Jarrett released on a label other than ECM.
"Here is another LP helping from the Keith Jarrett 'American' Quartet's last recording session -- one that is almost as consistent in quality as its predecessor. The happy-go-lucky groove of the title track perfectly expresses its name, with Jarrett blithely singing along; both Dewey Redman and Charlie Haden get plenty of solo space on Redman's 'Gotta Get Some Sleep' and Haden's 'Pocket Full of Cherry' (a pun referring to Haden cohort Don Cherry); and Paul Motian remains a marvelously flexible drummer. Moreover, there is another fascinating swatch of Middle Eastern experimentation on 'Pyramids Moving.'" — AllMusic
"I love this collection of quartet material ... Dewey Redman is showing so much control and heart on the saxophone that dominates what is nominally a pianist's record. A."
