==== Neo-bop ==== {{main|Neo-bop|}} [[File: Betty Carter.jpg|thumb|left|[[Betty Carter]] pioneering jazz singer known for nurturing young talent and maintaining a focus on traditional jazz, she helped shape the next generation of jazz musicians.]] The emergence of young jazz talent beginning to perform in older, established musicians' groups further impacted the resurgence of traditionalism in the jazz community. In the 1970s, the groups of [[Betty Carter]] and [[The Jazz Messengers|Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers]] retained their conservative jazz approaches in the midst of fusion and jazz-rock, and in addition to difficulty booking their acts, struggled to find younger generations of personnel to authentically play traditional styles such as [[hard bop]] and [[bebop]]. In the late 1970s, however, a resurgence of younger jazz players in Blakey's band began to occur. This movement included musicians such as [[Valery Ponomarev]] and [[Bobby Watson (American musician)|Bobby Watson]], [[Dennis Irwin]] and [[James Williams (musician)|James Williams]]. In the 1980s, in addition to [[Wynton Marsalis|Wynton]] and [[Branford Marsalis]], the emergence of pianists in the Jazz Messengers such as [[Donald Brown (musician)|Donald Brown]], [[Mulgrew Miller]], and later, Benny Green, bassists such as [[Charles Fambrough]], [[Lonnie Plaxico]] (and later, [[Peter Washington]] and Essiet Essiet) horn players such as [[Bill Pierce (saxophonist)|Bill Pierce]], [[Donald Harrison]] and later [[Javon Jackson]] and [[Terence Blanchard]] emerged as talented jazz musicians, all of whom made significant contributions in the 1990s and 2000s. The young Jazz Messengers' contemporaries, including [[Roy Hargrove]], [[Marcus Roberts]], [[Wallace Roney]] and [[Mark Whitfield]] were also influenced by [[Wynton Marsalis]]'s emphasis toward jazz tradition. These younger rising stars rejected avant-garde approaches and instead championed the acoustic jazz sound of Charlie Parker, [[Thelonious Monk]] and early recordings of the first [[Miles Davis]] quintet. This group of "Young Lions" sought to reaffirm jazz as a high art tradition comparable to the discipline of classical music.<ref name="Guilliatt, Richard">{{cite web |last1=Guilliatt |first1=Richard |title=Jazz: The Young Lions' Roar |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-09-13-ca-1495-story.html|website=Los Angeles Times |access-date= January 14, 2018 |date= September 13, 1992}}</ref> [[File:Trio_3_+_Geri_Allen_featuring_Andrew_Cyrille,_Reggie_Workman_and_Oliver_Lake_-_6122681066.jpg|thumb|right|[[Geri Allen]] talented pianist and composer who worked with [[Betty Carter]] and became a key figure in the neo-traditionalist movement.]] In addition, [[Betty Carter]]'s rotation of young musicians in her group foreshadowed many of New York's preeminent traditional jazz players later in their careers. Among these musicians were Jazz Messenger alumni [[Benny Green (pianist)|Benny Green]], [[Branford Marsalis]] and [[Ralph Peterson Jr.]], as well as [[Kenny Washington (musician)|Kenny Washington]], [[Lewis Nash]], [[Curtis Lundy]], [[Cyrus Chestnut]], [[Mark Shim]], [[Craig Handy]], Greg Hutchinson and [[Marc Cary]], [[Taurus Mateen]] and [[Geri Allen]]. [[Out of the Blue (American band)|O.T.B.]] ensemble included a rotation of young jazz musicians such as [[Kenny Garrett]], [[Steve Wilson (jazz musician)|Steve Wilson]], [[Kenny Davis (musician)|Kenny Davis]], [[Renee Rosnes]], [[Ralph Peterson Jr.]], [[Billy Drummond]], and [[Robert Hurst (musician)|Robert Hurst]].<ref name="Out">{{cite web|last1=Yanow|first1=Scott |title=Out of the Blue |url=https://www.allmusic.com/artist/out-of-the-blue-mn0000419825/biography|website=AllMusic|access-date= January 14, 2018}}</ref> Starting in the 1990s, a number of players from largely straight-ahead or post-bop backgrounds emerged as a result of the rise of neo-traditionalist jazz, including pianists [[Jason Moran (musician)|Jason Moran]] and [[Vijay Iyer]], guitarist [[Kurt Rosenwinkel]], vibraphonist [[Stefon Harris]], trumpeters [[Roy Hargrove]] and [[Terence Blanchard]], saxophonists [[Chris Potter (jazz saxophonist)|Chris Potter]] and [[Joshua Redman]], clarinetist [[Ken Peplowski]] and bassist [[Christian McBride]].
