| - | '''Soul jazz''' was a development of [[hard bop]] which incorporated strong influences from [[blues]], [[gospel]] and [[rhythm and blues]] in music for small groups, often the [[organ trio]] which featured the [[Hammond organ]].

Although the term "soul jazz" contains the word "soul," soul jazz is only a distant cousin to [[Soul music]], in that soul developed from [[gospel music|gospel]] and [[blues]] rather than from jazz. | + | * [[Chicago Blues Festival]] |
