| | Jazz History :Hard Bop/Post Bop |
 | | Hard bop truly began as a genre with a series of recordings made and released in 1954. | | | It was this 1958 version of the band that recorded the classic album Moanin’, with Timmons coming to the fore as a composer and arranger. | | | This band also laid down elements of what came to be considered the hard bop style, with Sonny Rollins replacing Land near the time of the group’s final recordings. |

| | Jazz Styles: Mainstream Jazz: Hard Bop |
| | Furthermore, the compositions of hard bop tended to be based on original chord changes rather than just blues progressions and pop songs, and hard bop musicians were more likely to create arrangements that used several horns in harmony, both during the head and for riffs as interludes or during solos. | | | Some hard bop performances are not so obviously derived from gospel music, but are nonetheless considered hard bop because of the more vocal character of the solos and the use of more complex compositions than bebop. | | | The term hard bop has come to include music without the overt gospel influences or the compositional devices typical of the genre. |

| | Hard Bop |
| | The most obvious sources of inspiration for hard bop musicians were Gospel music and the blues. | | | While the "cool" esthetic asked of its drummers to assume a subtle, unobtrusive, time-keeping role, hard bop drummers brought the drums back to the forefront of the music, using increasingly complex polyrhythms and increasingly higher levels of interaction with the soloists. | | | Incidentely, it is very interesting to notice that the birth of hard bop is usually dated back to the 1954 recording date by Miles Davis which produced the album Walkin', the same year as the Brown vs. Board of Education ruling. |

| | Hard bop jazz |
| | Hard bop was the jazz music in vogue when Brian and Charlie were growing up, who both became devoted fans. | | | He then played with Thelonious Monk, before rejoining Davis from 1958 to 1960, recording albums that were really the starting point of hard bop, accelerating the rhythms furiously and stretching improvisation to near atonality. | | | The recordings he made with Coltrane until 1965 helped define hard bop and stretch the boundaries of jazz drumming and jazz music very far. |

| | Jazz Owl Articles: Why Hard Bop? |
| | The hard bop musician wanted to bring back some of the roots of the music to their playing. | | | As the bebop musicians were known for harmonic substitution and alteration of standard chordal structures and popular song the hard bop musicians were more fond of creating new and challanging chord structures often with quick key changes upon which the soloist could show their prowess. | | | Trombone can also be found in hard bop recordings but softer sounding instruments such as the clarinet or vibraphone are pretty much non-existent. |

| | Various The Birth Of Hard Bop |
| | While Keepnews, who of course was present during this gestational period of jazz recording, mentions that Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan typify what was going on during the development of “hard bop,” the true glue of both of the CD's is Hank Mobley. | | | The revelation from listening to the issued and alternate recordings is that tunes like “Cattin'” and “Blues Number Two” were slowed down for the original albums, thus developing a more deliberate and a less free-spirited rhythm. | | | What does matter, as both Ramsey and Keepnews agree, is that these mid-1950's sessions from which “The Birth Of Hard Bop” was compiled represent some innovative music in the relatively early careers of influential jazz musicians like Horace Silver, Donald Byrd, Hank Mobley and Lee Morgan. |
