Post bop
With post bop (from Latin post = to and English bop = bebop ; also postbop ) a small part of jazz research describes a style of jazz that was based on the achievements of bebop and hardbop in the second half of the 1960s Years. Colloquially, the term is used in a similar way to neobop and relates to a large part of mainstream jazz of the last few decades (including Wallace Roney and John Scofield ).
The stylistic features of the post bop were first worked out in 2008 by Jeremy Yudkin on the basis of Miles Davis' album Miles Smiles . Characteristic is therefore an approach that takes up the possibilities of modal jazz and extended harmonies, is abstract and intense in the extreme and creates space for rhythmic and tonal independence from drumming . It allows flexible forms, structured chorus playing , melodic variation as well as free improvisation . This post-bop approach grew out of the playing of various jazz formations in the early and mid-1960s, particularly the bands of John Coltrane , Miles Davis and Charles Mingus .
