Hard bop is a jazz style that developed in the 1950s as an extension of bebop. It features a more robust, emotional sound with a stronger emphasis on rhythm and blues influences. Hard bop incorporates elements like soulful melodies, gospel-like harmonies, and a steady, driving beat. Musicians often use expressive solos and powerful, bluesy riffs, creating a sound that is both energetic and deeply rooted in African-American musical traditions. The genre reflects a shift towards a more accessible and grounded approach to jazz, while still maintaining its improvisational complexity.
