    Nov 30th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Johnny Griffin, Nat Adderley

    Art Pepper Perfectly timed to reinforce the value of acoustic mainstream jazz and provide an alternative to both fusion and free jazz, Art Pepper, Dexter Gordon and Johnny Griffin reappeared and reestablished themselves as key players at the end of the 1970s.

    Woody Shaw Jazz-rock fusion was a powerful force in the music in the early seventies, but noticeably began to run out of steam mid-decade. European influences began to gain traction as the decade progressed as represented by the rise of ECM. American acoustic jazz musicians, who seemed to be taken for granted, continued to produce […]

    Oct 5th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: David Newman, Eddie Harris, Herbie Hancock, Les McCann, Lou Donaldson, Ramsey Lewis, Stanley Turrentine

    Les McCann Soul Jazz developed in the late 1950s and become a staple of ghetto jukeboxes.

  • Jazz at 100 Hour 77: Miles Davis and the Second Great Quintet

    Sep 7th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: George Coleman, Herbie Hancock, Miles Davis, Ron Carter, Tony Williams, Wayne Shorter

    Miles Davis – Herbie Hancock – Wayne Shorter Miles Davis, through his adoption of modal music, participated in the gradual liberation that resulted in the free music of the jazz avant-garde – liberation from chord changes, from rhythm, from harmony, from melody, from structure. Yet, although he continued to explore broadly, he was public in […]
