Hard Bop elements can be heard in the genre's rhythmic intensity and bluesy phrasing, while the inclusion of instruments like the harmonica and jazz harp adds unique textures to the music. The genre's popularity has spread globally, with notable contributions from Australian and Austrian jazz scenes, showcasing its universal appeal and adaptability across different cultures and musical traditions.
