Hard Bop Explosion was a concept conceived by pianist Bill Bares over a decade ago. It was an overwhelming urge to pay tribute to the masters of the 50's movement to inject soul and joy into the music, making it more accessible to the people. Join the band as they pay homage to dignitaries such as Art Blakey, Lee Morgan, Cannonball Adderley, and other giants of jazz.
