Hm, I don't see how in any meaningful sense this album is "hard bop", unless you just use that as a blanket term for any postwar jazz. It's light-years away from the classic hard bop sound of Horace Silver, Art Blakey, etc. (especially because of the inclusion of Dolphy and Evans, neither of them hard boppers; though Hubbard gives it some hardbop punch). -- I have condensed the lengthy listing of bar lengths and dedicatees--it's more important to give some idea of why this album is significant than to explain that "Teenie" is Nelson's sister.
I think that if you want a good discussion of the importance of this album check out this thread, especially Jim Sangrey's first post: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=22742 -- perhaps a link to this might even be included in the Wiki article. ND 20:48, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
