Hard bop was the most exciting jazz style of its day, and remains at the core of the modern-jazz mainstream even now. It drew on the twin poles of bebop and the blues for its foundation, spiced up with gospel, Latin, and rhythm-and-blues influences. It is characterized by greater technical proficiency as well as more elaborate harmonic structures. The work looks at the founding fathers of the form, Art Blakey and Horace Silver, and goes on to trace the music and its performers through its peak decade. The second installment of Kenny Mathieson's series of jazz histories provides a fine overview to one of the most exciting periods in the music's development and features profiles of Cannonball Adderley, Donald Byrd, Lou Donaldson, Grant Green, and J.J. Johnson, among others. And who survives? Lou Donaldson. Kenny Burrell. Benny Golson. All else is dust...and the music.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
