From Wikipedia
Neo-bop (also called neotraditionalist jazz) refers to a style of jazz that gained popularity in the 1980s among musicians who found greater aesthetic affinity for acoustic, swinging, melodic forms of jazz than for the avant-garde jazz and jazz fusion that had gained prominence in the 1960s and 1970s. Neo-bop is distinct from previous bebop and hard bop music due to the influence of trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, who popularized the genre as an artistic and academic endeavor opposed to the countercultural developments of the Beat Generation and subsequently.
