Hard Bop, sans drum solos ?


Hard Bop fan, save for the drum solos. I'm sure they're a hoot if you're in the room watching, but can't stand em otherwise. Who's got suggestions?

Most Horace Silver albums would fit the description of hard bop, and while there may be some drum solos scattered here and there, I don't recall any that go on for any significant length of time, at least not long enough to make someone who claims to like hard bop but dislikes drums solos discard the entire body of work. Assume you're talking about hard bop in the traditional jazz sense. Most hard bop in my collection - drum solos are not a prominent thing, in the sense that they don't go on for a long period of time, or even long enough to offend someone who dislikes them.
