ThreeBop was founded in Istanbul in 2025 by three young jazz enthusiasts dedicated to Hard Bop. ThreeBop’s aim is to bring the rich heritage of Hard Bop to contemporary audiences, following in the footsteps of masters like Clifford Brown, Sonny Clarke, and Hank Mobley, while also breathing new life into the tradition with their own unique interpretations. The group strives to both keep the spirit of these legendary musicians alive by remaining true to Hard Bop’s roots and to bring a fresh and youthful energy to the Istanbul jazz scene.
