Post Bop is jazz from the mid-1960s onward that assimilates Hard Bop, Modal Jazz, Avant-garde, and Free Jazz without necessarily being immediately identifiable as any of the above. Post Bop reflects influences like the more open approach to the jazz ensemble crystallized by the second Miles Davis quintet, and the modal intensity of that group, as well as of the classic John Coltrane Quartet.
…Post Bop is a vague term, used either stylistically or chronologically (with divergent results) to describe any continuation or amalgamation of bop, modal jazz, and free jazz, its meaning sometimes extends into swing and earlier styles or into fusion and third-world styles…
