Live dance music from Monk or Bird (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bebop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'live dance' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'music from monk or bird' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'music' could be 'bop' (bop is a kind of music) and 'bop' is found in the answer.
'from' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
A single letter 'b' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bebop that I've seen before include "kind of jazz" , "Type of jazz" , "Jazzy music style" , "Jazz style of 40s" , "Fast, complex jazz" .)
