  • As one of the tags for this song is 'hard bop' im wondering wether this is hard bop. Isn't much too soft and cool for that genre?

  • Not at all. In spite of what the "hard" in hard bop might suggest, the style it generally refers to is in fact heavily influenced by the blues, gospel, and r&b, hence the "softer," less angular sound.

  • forces in motion is correct. It is in fact a calypso based on rhythm changes, or for the uninitiated, on the changes to "I Got Rhythm". As a Caribbean man and jazz lover I cannot express high enough appreciation for the way these musicians maintained the authentic feel of the calypso played at the time while improvising at their usual high level. Old-timers in St. Thomas who encounter the tune for the first time say, "Ah...THAT's the old bounce-beat!"

  • it an f bluesan a a b a fourm

  • Fungii Mama is a calypso based on rhythm changes.

  • This is hard bop to the core. There are no higher priests than Blue, Junior,Gene (Just off Horace Silver Quintent)
