The Horace Silver group pays tribute to pianist and composer Horace Silver, whose Jazz quartet—the Jazz Messengers—pioneered the hard bop style with blues and gospel-oriented tunes during the 1950s and ‘60s. 

Blue Note group honors Blue Notes Records, the jazz record label known for facilitating the diffusion of hard bop, post-bop and avant-garde jazz. 

The Hard Bop Jazz Ensemble base their sound on the extension of “bebop” and has performed in Switzerland, Italy and the Netherlands, receiving awards in composition and performance from DownBeat Magazine.
