Postwar conditions forced early bebop musicians to record extremely short solos, leaving a misleading record of their music. However, these musicians' concise playing makes the recordings superb artistic works instead of just copying their live solos. Also, the concise recordings resulted those artists playing more compact solos even when performing live. The next generation of musicians lacked this concision.

Postwar conditions had at least one positive effect for bebop musicians.

Sometimes a feature of music can have simultaneous negative and positive effects.
