Hard bop

Hard bop


[The Maturity of Modern Jazz]
In the late 1950s, black jazz in New York, which had been quiet until then, regained popularity. The modern jazz of black musicians such as Miles Davis, Sonny Rollins, Art Blakey (1919-90, real name Abdullah Ibn Buhaina), and Max Roach, which modified the somewhat chaotic bop idiom in terms of group expression within a combo format and focused on improvisation (similar to ad-lib), was called "hard bop." Its powerful and direct expression overwhelmed the experimental jazz of white players on the West Coast, which tended to fuse with modern music. Around this time, black leaders in Africa started to gain independence one after another, and in the United States, the movement to abolish racial discrimination against blacks, such as the issue of coeducational schools for whites and blacks, the bus boycott movement, and the civil rights movement, became stronger.
