    Aug 31st, 2018 | By Russell Perry

    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 69: School of Trane – Wayne Shorter, Archie Shepp, Charles Lloyd, & Pharoah Sanders (1964 – 1969)

    Jul 13th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Archie Shepp, Charles Lloyd, Elvin Jones, Jack DeJohnette, John Coltrane, Keith Jarrett, McCoy Tyner, Pharoah Sanders, Reggie Workman, Wayne Shorter

    Paul Bley – Jimmy Giuffre – Steve Swallow Clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre and pianist Lennie Tristano were heavily influential in the musical explorations of the 1960s. The Jimmy Giuffre Trio recorded a series of records in the early 1960s now seen as significant milestones in improvisational music, although they made no commercial impact at the time. […]
