Bash is a type of shell: put it wherever you want in your car but it must be one single piece. Originally, UNIX had sh (the Bourne Shell) to interpret commands. It was quite limited. That why many other command line interpreters (aka "shells") were developed to replace it (while keeping the compatibility with sh): GNU Bash but also zsh, ksh, tcsh, etc. Brace expansion is the kind of more advanced features some of these shells added.
