must know jazz
Hard bop and cool jazz started out as subsidiary branches of bop.
Hard bop evolved in the early 1950s and is distinguished by equally fast burning bebop tempos, but with simpler melodies, a pronounced rhythm 'n' blues and funk influence and catchier rhythms.
Guitarists associated with cool jazz include Jim Hall, Billy Bauer, and Johnny Smith.
Other significant hard bop players are Grant Green, Kenny Burrell, Howard Roberts, and Joe Pass.
I played these licks with a 1956 Gibson ES-175D with P-90 pickups.
The amplifier was one of the great all-time jazz combos, a Fender '65 Twin Reverb® with two 12-inch speakers.

The people who are sitting at this table actually do treat jazz as an international music and the festival that we're at is one of the greatest international festivals in the world.
When you start discussing internationalism in jazz you have to address not only where a player is from, but what cultural elements they are bringing into the music and what they say is innovation.
As to the quality of jazz criticism, obviously this not an objective answer, but I think it's really good right now.
The world that I came from when I first listened to it didn't have such a large amount of information from international musics.

One of the secret histories of jazz is that of its collective organizations, which have helped musicians control their own concert booking, composing and recording.
In New York City just before World War I, the Clef Club was a musicianoperated booking agency that sent bands out to play all kinds of gigs.
In the 1960's and 70's, however, there were many more musicians' collectives.
And during that time the Jazz Composers Collective has grown from bright idea to a mark of quality.
Improbably, its members are still talking to one another --- and playing together, too.
It now announces quarterly concerts at the New School's auditorium and lists an impressive advisory board, including Mr. Hill and Joe Lovano.
