popularity=ModeratePost-bop is a term for a form of small-combo
jazz music that evolved in the early-to-mid sixties. The genre's origins lie in seminal work byJohn Coltrane ,Miles Davis ,Bill Evans ,Charles Mingus and especiallyHerbie Hancock . Generally, the term post-bop is taken to mean jazz from the mid-sixties onward that assimilates influence fromhard bop ,modal jazz , the avant-garde, andfree jazz , without necessarily being immediately identifiable as any of the above. The term is a fairly recent coinage and (like "Northern soul ") was not in common use while the genre was active.Much "post-bop" was recorded on
Blue Note Records . Key albums include "Speak No Evil " byWayne Shorter ; "The Real McCoy" byMcCoy Tyner ; "Maiden Voyage " byHerbie Hancock ; and "Search For the New Land " byLee Morgan (an artist not typically associated with the post-bop genre). Most post-bop artists worked in other genres as well, with a particularly strong overlap with laterhard bop .By the early seventies, most of the major post-bop artists had moved on to
jazz fusion of one form or another. Wynton andBranford Marsalis led a revival of the style in the 1980s that continues to this day.Partial list of musicians or groups linked to post-bop
