CONTEMPORARY HARDBOP
The Hardbop (1955-1960) is
considered new
be-bop version,
more popular and Lively,
less "intellectualized" ,
influenced by the BLUES,
SOUL music and LATIN-JAZZ
Rythms.
Jazz Messenger or the
iconic Sonny Rollins quintet
crystallize most of the
sound experiments
and musicals of hard bop.

Post modernist painters,
preserving the melody as
the base line for new
arrangements,
creative harmonies
and playful rhythms
that inspire
Jazz improvisation
and inventiveness”

and influences.
In Jazz, this family bond
isn't visible with the eyes
and not always immediately
with the ears.
The Looking-up quartet
proposes a melodical
contemporary Jazz
compositions style.
