SUMMARY:Hard Bop Quintet
DESCRIPTION:The Hard Bop Quintet is a jazz group from the San Francisco Bay Area inspired by the fiery style of the early 1960s New York jazz scene. \nThe group began as the brainchild of two Bay Area jazz musicians who grew up together in Santa Cruz\, California: trombonist Scott Larson\, and trumpeter Jay Sanders – the idea for the band being to create a hard bop jazz group which seamlessly fuses different musical aesthetics from boogaloo\, afro-cuban\, and bebop into the contemporary jazz landscape. \nThe groups repertoire consists of original compositions by Larson as well as new interpretations of genre classics by legends such as Hank Mobley\, Lee Morgan and Kenny Dorham.
