  • 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 86: Weather Report (1971 – 1976)

    Nov 9th, 2018 | By Russell Perry
    Tags: Jaco Pastorius, Joe Zawinul, Ralph Towner, Wayne Shorter

    Joe Zawinul – Jaco Pastorius – Wayne Shorter By 1970, Wayne Shorter and Joe Zawinul were recognized as two of the finest hard bop composers and players having contributed the full range of their talents to The Jazz Messengers and Miles Davis Quintet (in Shorter’s case) and the Cannonball Adderley Quintet (in Zawinul’s). Both contributed […]

  • 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 77: Miles Davis and the Second Great Quintet (1963 – 1968)

    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 […]

  • 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, […]

    Freddie Hubbard – Curtis Fuller As the 1960s began Art Blakey’s Jazz Messengers were fueled by the compositions of Wayne Shorter with the front line of Shorter and Lee Morgan. In 1961, this transitioned to the last great Messengers lineup of the 1960s – and it was one of the best ever – Freddie Hubbard on […]
