Hard bop was a move away from cool jazz, an attempt to make bop more appealing to audiences by incorporating influences from soul music, gospel music, and the blues.
Hard bop was at the peak of its popularity in the 1950s and 1960s, and was associated with such notable figures as Sonny Rollins, John Coltrane, Miles Davis, Art Blakey and Charles Mingus.
Later, bebop and hard bop musicians, such as trumpeter Miles Davis, made more stylistic advances with modal jazz, where the harmonic structure of pieces was much more free than previously and frequently only implied by skeletal piano chords and bass parts.
