Hard Bop and Cool Jazz Hard bop and cool jazz started out as subsidiary branches of bop. Both grew as a response to the growing complexities of bebop. 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. Cool jazz (sometimes called “West Coast jazz”) appeared somewhat earlier: Most cite Miles Davis’s auspicious 1950 record Birth of the Cool as a definitive starting point. Like hard bop, cool jazz was characterized as a simplification of the earlier bebop style, but favored slower tempos and a quieter, more relaxed execution and, perhaps, a more cerebral approach to improvising. Both hard bop and cool jazz were influential throughout the 1950s. Guitarists associated with cool jazz include Jim Hall, Billy Bauer, and Johnny Smith. Wes Montgomery is universally acknowledged as the quintessential hard bop guitarist. 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 guitar was strung with medium-heavy gauge strings and the neck pickup was used exclusively. The amplifier was one of the great all-time jazz combos, a Fender ’65 Twin Reverb® with two 12-inch speakers. The bright switch was not engaged, and the tone controls were set to produce a warm but clean sound with an emphasis on the midrange.
