    Ambrose Akinmusire Known as a constantly searching and forward-looking musician, trumpeter Ambrose Akinmusire won the Thelonious Monk (now Herbie Hancock) International Jazz Competition in 2007 at 27 years old.

    David S. Ware This is the 96th of 100 programs in the Jazz at 100 series. As we present more recent music, we face the historian’s dilemma – what performances will have lasting value? What players will be remembered for their contributions to advancing the music? What trends will turn into dominant themes? We are […]

    Tags: David Murray, Hamiet Bluiett, Jack DeJohnette, Julius Hemphill, Oliver Lake, World Saxophone Quartet

    World Saxophone Quartet Perhaps no jazz musician recorded a more varied output in more diverse settings in the 1980s than tenor saxophone and bass clarinet player David Murray. Three of the best bands to emerge in the decade were his Octet, his Quartet and the collaborative – the World Saxophone Quartet. He may also have […]

  • 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

    Charles Lloyd No tenor player cast a larger shadow over the 1960’s than John Coltrane. Arguably, that time frame could be expanded to include all decades since, as well. Several contemporary tenor players who emerged as singular and important voices in the 1960s were specifically in his debt: his friend and colleague – Wayne Shorter, […]
