Hard Bop Cocktail Bar Bright Minor Session Track

Nearly three minutes of bright, minor-key hard bop with a firm percussive layer and a busy front line. More assertive than the cocktail and dinner material in this album.

For jazz bars, record shops, hi-fi and audiophile content, and venues that want the sound of a real band rather than furniture music. Also a solid bed for jazz-themed video essays.

The only minor-key track in the album — G minor, against ten tracks that are either major-key or keyless — and at a hundred and twenty-nine beats per minute the second-fastest tempo here, behind only Midnight Club's hard bop closer.
