Post-bop

Post-bop can refer to a variety of Jazz music that is post-bebop chronologically but in the common understanding post-bop music reflects these influences: the more open approach to the jazz ensemble crystallized by the second Miles Davis quintet, and the modal intensity of that group as well as of the classic John Coltrane Quartet. Like those groups modern post-bop centers on modal material but over time it has broadened its scope to include reharmonized standards and pieces cycling through a variety of feels, e.g. from modal to Latin, Latin to modal or music that is quasi- "free", but more akin to modal jazz. Major figures on the scene today who have been critical to developing post-bop in the modern era include: Geri Allen, Kenny Garrett, Tom Harrell, Joe Lovano, Mulgrew Miller, and Wallace Roney.
