I meant to post this link to an article which will fascinate both Bluesnik and Jazzrook.
Hard Bop: An Alternative Top Ten article by Chris May, published on April 30, 2020 at All About Jazz. Find more Building a Jazz Library articles
I concur with quite a few of the selections in this list, not least Sonny Clark's wonderful "Cool stuttin'", Tina Brooks' 2True Blue" and Harold Land's" The fox." However, there are some records on here that I have never heard off. I had not idea that Howard McGhee had recorded for Blue Note and that he might be considered the pioneer of Hard Bop . This is an interesting perspective.

Was particularly interested in the Curtis Fuller & Howard McGhee albums - both hard to find now.
Here's a track from McGhee's Blue Note CD:

"Stan Levey and the birth of Bebop" - A really excellent c.50 minute interview profile and documentary on drummer Stan Levey and his often overlooked role. And particularly significant in that he was white and the acceptance he readily gained from Parker & Dizzy etc. A remarkable period not just in musical terms...
