  • Jazz at 100 Hour 88: Acoustic Jazz Lives (1972 – 1978)

    Nov 23rd, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Azar Lawrence, Freddie Hubbard, Gary Bartz, Herbie Hancock, John Stubblefield, McCoy Tyner, Ron Carter, Scott Hamilton, Sonny Fortune, Sonny Rollins, Tony Williams, VSOP, Wayne Shorter, Woody Shaw

    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 […]

  • 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.

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, […]

    Jul 6th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Alice Coltrane, Elvin Jones, Jimmy Garrison, John Coltrane, McCoy Tyner, Rashied Ali

    John Coltrane John Coltrane is undoubtedly one of the most influential players in the history of jazz, yet his important work fits within a brief twelve-year period (1955 – 1967). Previously in this series we have covered his work in the 1950s with Miles Davis for Prestige and Columbia, his blowing sessions on Prestige, his […]
