before 1959

A jazz legend and the heavyweight of the tenor saxophone, the first to use the instrument as a serious means of expression.

Coleman Hawkins 

Blue Moments by Connie's Inn Orchestra

Someday, Sweetheart by Hawkins Orchestra

from Selected Sessions (1931-1934)

An operatic tenor who broke the color barrier in one of Cuba's most prestigious orchestras, and a musical ambassador to the United States and Europe, Antonio Machín was a pivotal figure in the history of Cuban music who is not always remembered as such. 

Antonio Machín 

Mujer

Rumba Tambah

from Vol. 2 - 1932-1933

The salient feature of Machín's early life was that his ambition to sing opera was frustrated by that fact that he was born a poor mulatto in Cuba at the turn of the century. There is an operatic sensibility in his best performances -- El Manisero, Lamento Esclavo, Blanca Rosa -- that makes one wonder how he would have handled Verdi. In any case, in 1926 Machín made his way to Havana from Sagua La Grande, his birthplace on the northern part of the island, determined to become a singer. He soon became a featured vocalist at the Casino Nacional of Havana, the first singer of color ever to do so...

Sibling trio whose sophisticated brand of close, jazzy harmony coupled with bluesy inflections made them stars of the 1930s.

Boswell Sisters 

Wha'd Ja Do to Me? (Milton Ager)

Roll On, Mississippi, Roll On (James McCaffry / Dave Ringle / Eugene West)

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Harold Arlen / Ted Koehler)

from The Boswell Sisters Collection, Vol. 1: 1931-1932 [Collectors']

Most vocal groups that attempt to sing jazz instead end up in the genre of middle-of-road pop music. The Boswell Sisters (comprised of Connee, Vet, and Martha) were a strong exception, always swinging and, by changing tempos and keys frequently while including some other surprises, performing creative jazz of the early '30s.... With a supporting cast frequently including trumpeters Bunny Berigan and Manny Klein, trombonist Tommy Dorsey, and clarinetist Jimmy Dorsey (all of whom receive a generous amount of solo space), the sisters are heard at their best throughout this consistently exciting set....

before 1959

Tennessee country blues king who popularized “Drop Down Mama” and “Milk Cow Blues.”

Sleepy John Estes 

Down South Blues

The Girl I Love, She Got Long Curly Hair

Black Mattie Blues

from The Complete Recorded Works, 1929-1941

Big Bill Broonzy called John Estes' style of singing "crying" the blues because of its overt emotional quality. Actually, his vocal style harks back to his tenure as a work-gang leader for a railroad maintenance crew, where his vocal improvisations and keen, cutting voice set the pace for work activities. Nicknamed "Sleepy" John Estes, supposedly because of his ability to sleep standing up, he teamed with mandolinist Yank Rachell and harmonica player Hammie Nixon to play the house party circuit in and around Brownsville in the early '20s.

Enduring jazz legend with many talents, including superb solos on alto sax, hundreds of writing and arranging credits, and even film scores.

Benny Carter 

Everybody Shuffle

Blues In My Heart

from The Various Facets of a Genious 1929-1940

To say that Benny Carter had a remarkable and productive career would be an extreme understatement. As an altoist, arranger, composer, bandleader, and occasional trumpeter, Carter was at the top of his field since at least 1928, and in the late '90s, Carter was as strong an altoist at the age of 90 as he was in 1936 (when he was merely 28). His gradually evolving style did not change much through the decades, but neither did it become at all stale or predictable except in its excellence. Benny Carter was a major figure in every decade of the 20th century since the 1920s, and his consistency and longevity were unprecedented.

The legendary Hamp created the benchmarks for the vibraphone, playing for jazz aficianados and presidents into his 90s.

Lionel Hampton 

Jivin' the vibes

Ring 'dem bells

Shufflin' at the hollywood

from Classics 1937-1939

Hampton's RCA Victor dates are a varied lot with the majority of them boasting the best players of whatever big band was blowing through town when he was organizing a date. This disc, with dates from 1937 and 1939, is no exception with stars like Cootie Williams, Rex Stewart, Dizzy Gillespie, Gene Krupa, Cozy Cole, Jess Stacy, Milt Hinton, John Kirby, Coleman Hawkins, Chu Berry, Benny Carter, Johnny Hodges, and Lawrence Brown dotting the various lineups.
