What is hard bop music?
Hard bop is a subgenre of jazz that is an extension of bebop (or “bop”) music. Journalists and record companies began using the term in the mid- 1950s to describe a new current within jazz that incorporated influences from rhythm and blues, gospel music, and blues, especially in saxophone and piano playing.
Why is Hardbop so popular?
Bebop was complex and un-danceable, and therefore unpopular. So, Hard-bop moved back in the other direction. It used simpler melodies that were easier to sing, a slower tempo, a strong backbeat, a solid bluesy groove , all of which made it very danceable and thus popularised Jazz again.
