Hard-Bop Jazz; New and Old

From out of the 50's and 60, taking bebop to a new direction comes giants like Sonny Rollins, Cannonball and Art Blakey. The tradition continues with the likes of Wynton Marsalis, Joe Lovano and Eric Alexander taking flight into new directions. This music cooks, swings, soars. These cats can play.
