1967-1959

A brilliant composer and a criminally underrated pianist whose sense of rhythm, space, and harmony made him one of the founders of modern jazz. 
Thelonious Monk
Locomotive (Thelonious Monk) 6:40
Straight, No Chaser (Thelonious Monk) 11:28
from Straight, No Chaser 1967
This is the sixth studio album cut by Thelonious Monk under the production/direction of Teo Macero for Columbia and as such should not be confused with the original motion picture soundtrack to the 1988 film of the same name. The band featured here includes: Monk (piano), Charlie Rouse (tenor sax), Ben Riley (drums), and Larry Gales (bass). This would be the final quartet Monk would assemble to record with in the studio. While far from being somber, this unit retained a mature flavor which would likewise place Monk's solos in a completely new context...

The guru of hard bop, whose famous technique -- frequent, high volume snare with bass drum accents -- made him one of jazz's all-time best messengers. 
Art Blakey & The Jazz Messengers
The Egyptian (Curtis Fuller) 10:25
Calling Miss Khadija (Lee Morgan) 7:21
from Indestructible 1966
Lee Morgan once again became part of the Jazz Messengers after replacing Freddie Hubbard, who left after replacing Morgan originally. The band is rounded out by pianist Cedar Walton, a steaming Wayne Shorter on tenor, Curtis Fuller on trombone, and bassist Reggie Workman with Art Blakey on the skins, of course. Indestructible is a hard-blowing blues 'n' bop date with Shorter taking his own solos to the outside a bit, and with Blakey allowing some of Fuller's longer, suite-like modal compositional work into the mix as well...

The band led by drummer Art Blakey groomed more than 150 alumni members, including saxophonist Wayne Shorter and trumpeter Lee Morgan.

A major sax innovator for hard boppers and fusionists alike, due to his influential tenures with Art Blakey, Miles Davis, and Weather Report. 
Wayne Shorter
Witch Hunt (Wayne Shorter) 8:11
Speak No Evil (Wayne Shorter) 8:23
from Speak No Evil 1966
On his third date for Blue Note within a year, Wayne Shorter changed the bands that played on both Night Dreamer and Juju and came up with not only another winner, but also managed to give critics and jazz fans a different look at him as a saxophonist. Because of his previous associations with McCoy Tyner, Elvin Jones, and Reggie Workman on those recordings, Shorter had been unfairly branded with the "just-another-Coltrane-disciple" tag, despite his highly original and unusual compositions. Here, with only Jones remaining and his bandmates from the Miles Davis Quintet, Herbie Hancock and Ron Carter on board (with Freddie Hubbard filling out the horn section), Shorter at last came into his own and caused a major reappraisal of his earlier work...

Herbie Hancock and Wayne Shorter

Inventive, intelligent, and talented pianist/keyboardist whose distinguished career has covered modern jazz, fusion, hip-hop, and dance. 
Herbie Hancock
Succotash (Herbie Hancock) 7:40
Jack Rabbit (Herbie Hancock) 5:57
from Inventions & Dimensions 1964
For his third album, Inventions and Dimensions, Herbie Hancock changed course dramatically. Instead of recording another multifaceted album like My Point of View, he explored a Latin-inflected variation of post-bop with a small quartet. Hancock is the main harmonic focus of the music -- his three colleagues are bassist Paul Chambers, drummer Willie Bobo, and percussionist Osvaldo "Chihuahua" Martinez, who plays conga and bongo. It is true that the music is rhythm-intensive, but that doesn't mean it's dance music. Hancock has created an improvisational atmosphere where the rhythms are fluid and the chords, harmonies, and melodies are unexpected...
