If anyone wants a good laugh, read this Wiki entry on #HardBop. You get to learn that Bud Powell was a hard bop pianist and that #Coltrane "drew influences from hard bop" in A Love Supreme.

To me, it just shows how misbegotten this particular this #jazz label is.

Blue Bossa a compilation released on Blue Note back in 1986.

The first of the excellent Blue series

William Shears wrote on the Steve Hoffman music forums:

‘Blue Bossa’ blew my mind. It introduced me to Charlie Rouse, Kenny Dorham’s ‘Afrodesia’ album and Big John Patton’s magnificent ‘Let Em Roll’ and scratched the itch of a Brazilian/Latin obsession I’d been nursing since the early 80s. The compiler was Gilles Peterson, a name I knew from the incredible Jazz Juice compilations that had started coming out a couple of years before. But ‘Blue Bossa’ was an actual UK Blue Note release housed in a sharp, Reid Miles-esque sleeve and had clearly been compiled with love and care. It was an LP of truly deepcuts and as such a groundbreaking record.
