Frank Gibson’s NewBop Quintet
The 1950’s and 60’s was the era of the greats like Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Art Blakey, Horace Silver, Cannonball Adderly, Thelonious Monk, Sonny Rollins. It’s when the music known as BeBop evolved into HardBop.
With 2020 vision the Auckland based NewBop Quintet shines a fresh light on the key aspects of Hard Bop – a close link with the blues , a strong rhythmical presence, and strong melody lines.
Hard Bop connects with NewBop through a smattering of original tunes and a familiar yet fresh take on standards like So What and Straight No Chaser.
Great music and a great band!
