  • Jazz at 100 Hour 78: Sons of Miles – Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Tony Williams (1964 – 1968)

    Sep 14th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Bobby Hutcherson, Herbie Hancock, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter

    Tony Williams During the five-year tenure of Miles Davis’s Second Great Quintet (1963 – 1968), Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock and Tony Williams were very active on their own projects, many of which included Ron Carter. Several of the resulting releases are classics of the period and laid the foundation for their significant careers after the […]

  • Jazz at 100 Hour 76: The Arrival of Joe Henderson (1963 – 1967)

    Aug 31st, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Bobby Hutcherson, Elvin Jones, Joe Henderson, Kenny Dorham, Larry Young, McCoy Tyner

    Joe Henderson Joe Henderson may have been the most significant tenor saxophonist to emerge in the 1960s. Gary Giddins wrote that he is “…an irresistibly lucid player, whose adroitness in conjuring stark and swirling riffs contributed immeasurably to two of the most durable jazz hits of the ’60s, Horace Silver’s ‘Song for My Father’ and […]

  • Jazz at 100 Hour 75: The Hard Bop / Avant-Garde Synergy of Andrew Hill (1963 – 1965)

    Aug 24th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Andrew Hill, Bobby Hutcherson, Eric Dolphy, Jimmy Woods, Joe Henderson, Kenny Dorham, Richard Davis, Tony Williams

    Andrew Hill Blue Note Records in the 1960s released such iconoclastic projects as Cecil Taylor’s Unit Structures and Eric Dolphy’s Out To Lunch, but the label was best known for music on the Art Blakey – Horace Silver axis. As Ted Gioia has noted “…other, less radical Blue Note releases showed that there could be […]

  • Jazz at 100 Hour 73: Jackie McLean & Tina Brooks (1960 – 1963)

    Aug 10th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Bobby Hutcherson, Freddie Hubbard, Freddie Redd, Grachan Moncur III, Jackie McLean, Tina Brooks, Tony Williams

    Tina Brooks Fate could not have treated Blue Note saxophonists Tina Brooks and Jackie McLean more differently. While McLean released nine LPs for Prestige and two dozen for Blue Note between 1956 and 1967, only one of Tina Brooks’s four Blue Note sessions was released in his lifetime. Yet their collaborations on McLean’s Jackie’s Bag […]

  • Jazz at 100 Hour 71: Silenced in Their Prime – Eric Dolphy & Booker Little (1961 – 1964)

    Jul 27th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Bobby Hutcherson, Booker Little, Eric Dolphy, Freddie Hubbard, Max Roach, Oliver Nelson, Tony Williams

    Eric Dolphy – Booker Little at the Five Spot From his first recordings with Chico Hamilton in 1958 until his unnecessary death from misdiagnosed diabetic shock in 1964, Eric Dolphy was limited to only six years in which to record the music that has defined his extraordinary legacy. Previously, in this series, we have heard from […]
