The Hard Bop Style | Video Essay

A video essay on Hard Bop that I made during my jazz degree. Timestamps 0:00 Introduction 1:45 Cranky Spanky 3:45 Senor Blues 6:50 Moanin' 10:19 Conclusion Clarification: The term 'Amen Cadence' as I described it existed before and doesn't necessarily originate from gospel music. The IV - I cadence that the term 'Amen cadence' refers to however, is a notable harmonic of characteristic gospel music.
