===Hard bop=== {{Main|Hard bop}} [[File:Art Blakey 1973.jpg|thumb|left|[[Art Blakey]] in 1973]] Hard bop is an extension of bebop (or "bop") music that incorporates influences from blues, rhythm and blues, and gospel, especially in saxophone and piano playing. Hard bop was developed in the mid-1950s, coalescing in 1953 and 1954; it developed partly in response to the vogue for cool jazz in the early 1950s and paralleled the rise of rhythm and blues. It has been described as "funky" and can be considered a relative of [[soul jazz]].<ref name="gridley">{{Citation |last=Gridley |first=Mark C. |title=[[All Music Guide to Jazz]] |pages=[https://archive.org/details/allmusicguidetoj00wynn/page/11 11β12] |date=1994 |editor=Ron Wynn |others=M.

It went into decline in the late 1960s through the 1970s due to the emergence of other styles such as jazz fusion, but again became influential following the Young Lions Movement and the emergence of [[neo-bop]].<ref name=":1"/>
