I’ve been listening to lots of Coltrane, Mingus, etc. I love the manic intensity of their pieces!
I was wondering if anyone could recommend me any guitarists with that same feel and really intensity.
I find most lead jazz guitarists as overly clean and polished, something I’ve never enjoyed much.

Been listening to this a lot lately

Kenny Burrell fit in the hard bop camp when he wanted to.

I still never have figured out exactly what "hard bop" is.
Any trait-lists, definitions, etc. out there?

Hard bop is like bop but harder

The older guys I knew coming up just called it bop. "Bebop" was a very specific time and place to them. You can't play "bebop" anymore. It's over. But bop lives on. Or something.

This is why I posted that Philip Catherine track with Dexter Gordon since Philip uses effects.

One of the archetypal hard bop tracks is Moanin’ (by Bobby Timmons):

As already mentioned, Wes Montgomery could bop hard:
