The hard bop era is arguably the most significant of the different stages in the development of jazz, in that it showcased many of the artists that became the music's greatest legends. Three of these renowned artists are featured in this two-disc collection from Savoy, one of the era's great record labels. Trumpeters Lee Morgan and Donald Byrd and tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley all lead groups of various sizes throughout this extensive set that features sessions from 1956. Also appearing are other hard bop practitioners, notably pianist Horace Silver, one of the fathers of the style, and Kenny Clarke, one of the great drummers of any era.Despite the title, these sessions hardly mark the birth of hard bop, but the collection is an ample dose of the bluesy swing and hard-edged blowing that defined the genre from the mid '50s until the late '60s, when fusion started to become preeminent. Excellent examples of the style can be heard here in cuts such as Byrd's "The Jazz Message (Freedom for All)," Mobley's sizzling "Cattin'," and Morgan and Mobley's raucous "Hank's Shout."
The Birth of Hard Bop explores Savoy sessions from tenor saxophonist Hank Mobley and trumpeters Donald Byrd and Lee Morgan early in their careers. The majority of material has been previously released, however five alternate and previously unissued takes are included. Recorded between January and November 1956, with Mobley as the leader, playing on all tracks except the first three which fall under Byrd's leadership. Morgan's contributions surface on the last seven tracks, again under Mobley's leadership and excluding Byrd. The list of sidemen are hard bop (and bop) pioneers including Horace Silver, Barry Harris, Doug Watkins, Kenny Clarke, Hank Jones, and Arthur Taylor. This is a welcomed reissue with great sound and informative liner notes by Doug Ramsey in which the stifling term "hard bop" is thoroughly examined.
