Just as Rock n Roll lead to Hard Rock which lead to Heavy Metal, Bebop got bluesier and more swing focussed to form Hard Bop. Frank tries to answer the question, what if just as metal made hard rock heavier, how can we push Hard Bop to its bluesiest and heaviest? Expect plenty of hits, plenty of groove, plenty of blues, plenty of swing and plenty of energy.
