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.

before 1959

During the 1930s through the 1950s, he fused influences of the past--including jazz and swing--and pioneered a harder, funkier style of blues.

T-bone Walker 

No Worry Blues (feat. Jack McVea All Stars) [Recorded in Los Angeles, September 30, 1946]

T-Bone Boogie (feat. Marl Young And His Orchestra) [Recorded in Chicago, May, 1945]

from Classics, 1929-1947

Modern electric blues guitar can be traced directly back to this Texas-born pioneer, who began amplifying his sumptuous lead lines for public consumption circa 1940 and thus initiated a revolution so total that its tremors are still being felt today.

One of the towering figures of the 20th century, the first teen idol and the definitive saloon singer, the latter exemplified on a series of '50s concept albums.

Frank Sinatra 

These Foolish Things Remind Me of You (Harry Link / Holt Marvell / Jack Strachey)

I Don't Know Why (I Just Do) (Fred E. Ahlert / Roy Turk)

from The Voice of Frank Sinatra 1946

In 1945, Frank Sinatra recorded his first album after a career previously devoted solely to single records. Over two sessions, he performed the eight songs included in The Voice of Frank Sinatra, which Columbia released as a four-LP set of 78-rpm records on March 4, 1946. The collection quickly topped the then-recently established Billboard album chart. The Voice of Frank Sinatra was a precursor to the "concept" albums Sinatra would pioneer at Capitol eight years later, a carefully chosen and arranged selection of songs creating a specific mood...

Though she didn't call it third stream, and it wasn't associated with the genre, Hazel Scott was another musician who found a successful way to blend jazz and classical influences. Scott took classical selections and improvised on them, a practice dating back to the ragtime era.

Hazel Scott 

Calling All Bars (Leonard Feather)

Hazel's Boogie Woogie

from 1939 - 1945

A brilliant pianist who also had a warm singing voice, Hazel Scott gained some recognition in the early '40s for her swinging versions of classical themes. This valuable CD has all of her early recordings through May 1945, most of which have been rarely reissued. Scott is first heard on four songs with a pickup group organized by Leonard Feather called the Sextet of the Rhythm Club of London. While that unit features clarinetist Danny Polo and altoist Pete Brown, the next 16 selections (four of which are V-discs) put the spotlight entirely on Scott, who is backed by either J.C. Heard or Sid Catlett on drums...

The Mississippi Sheiks were a versatile Depression-era string band whose biggest song was "Sitting on Top of the World," later covered by the Grateful Dead, Howlin' Wolf, and Frank Sinatra.
Missississippi Sheiks
Driving That Thing 3:19
Stop and Listen Blues 3:29
Sitting on Top of the World (Lonnie Chatmon / Walter Vinson) 3:01
from Missississippi Sheiks, Vol 1 (1929-1930)
The Mississippi Sheiks were one of the most popular string bands of the late '20s and early '30s. Formed in Jackson around 1926, the band blended country and blues fiddle music -- both old-fashioned and risqué -- and included guitarist Walter Vinson and fiddler Lonnie Chatmon, with frequent appearances by guitarists Bo Carter and Sam Chatmon, who were also busy with their own solo careers. The musicians were the sons of Ezell Chatmon, uncle of Charlie Patton and leader of an area string band that was popular around the turn of the century. The Mississippi Sheiks (who took their name from the Rudolph Valentino movie The Sheik) began recording for Okeh in 1930 and had their first and biggest success with "Sitting on Top of the World," which was a crossover hit and multi-million seller...

Talented tuba player and leader of Clouds Of Joy, a subtly swinging band epitomizing commercial Kansas City jazz.
Andy Kirk
Mess-A-Stomp 2:41
Cloudy (Andy Kirk) 3:00
from Complete Jazz Series 1929 - 1931
This highly recommended CD from the European Classics label has all of the early recordings of Andy Kirk's Twelve Clouds of Joy, although unfortunately not the alternate takes. The most famous soloists were pianist Mary Lou Williams (who was also responsible for most of the arrangements), violinist Claude Williams (who unfortunately left Kirk before he had his big success in the mid-'30s), and trumpeter Edgar "Puddinghead" Battle, although the lesser-known players mostly fare pretty well too...

Jazz giant who changed the face of the entire form, practically inventing modern jazz and shaping the course of 20th century music. 
Charlie Parker
Summertime 2:45
Just Friends 3:30
Blues (Fast) 2:46
from Charlie Parker Vol. 7 (1949-50)
One of a handful of musicians who can be said to have permanently changed jazz, Charlie Parker was arguably the greatest saxophonist of all time. He could play remarkably fast lines that, if slowed down to half speed, would reveal that every note made sense. "Bird," along with his contemporaries Dizzy Gillespie and Bud Powell, is considered a founder of bebop; in reality he was an intuitive player who simply was expressing himself. Rather than basing his improvisations closely on the melody as was done in swing, he was a master of chordal improvising, creating new melodies that were based on the structure of a song. In fact, Bird wrote several future standards (such as "Anthropology," "Ornithology," "Scrapple from the Apple," and "Ko Ko," along with such blues numbers as "Now's the Time" and "Parker's Mood") that "borrowed" and modernized the chord structures of older tunes. Parker's remarkable technique, fairly original sound, and ability to come up with harmonically advanced phrases that could be both logical and whimsical were highly influential. By 1950, it was impossible to play "modern jazz" with credibility without closely studying Charlie Parker...

Trumpeter whose big, brawny sound set the tone for the rise of bebop; also notable for his quick attack and Spanish-tinged phrasings. 
Fats Navarro
The Tadd Dameron Sextet - The Chase (1947-09-26) 2:43
Fats Navarro Quintet Nostalgia (1947-12-05) 2:41
The Tadd Dameron Sextet Jahbero (1948-09-13) 2:52
from The Ultimate Jazz Archive - Set 24/42 CD 4
One of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time, Fats Navarro had a tragically brief career yet his influence is still being felt. His fat sound combined aspects of Howard McGhee, Roy Eldridge, and Dizzy Gillespie, became the main inspiration for Clifford Brown, and through Brownie greatly affected the tones and styles of Lee Morgan, Freddie Hubbard, and Woody Shaw. Navarro originally played piano and tenor before switching to trumpet. He started gigging with dance bands when he was 17, was with Andy Kirk during 1943-1944, and replaced Dizzy Gillespie with the Billy Eckstine big band during 1945-1946. During the next three years, Fats was second to only Dizzy among bop trumpeters. Navarro recorded with Kenny Clarke's Be Bop Boys, Coleman Hawkins, Eddie "Lockjaw" Davis, Illinois Jacquet, and most significantly Tadd Dameron during 1946-1947. He had short stints with the big bands of Lionel Hampton and Benny Goodman, continued working with Dameron, made classic recordings with Bud Powell (in a quintet with a young Sonny Rollins) and the Metronome All-Stars, and a 1950 Birdland appearance with Charlie Parker was privately recorded. However, Navarro was a heroin addict and that affliction certainly did not help him in what would be a fatal bout with tuberculosis that ended his life at age 26. He was well documented during the 1946-1949 period and most of his sessions are currently available on CD, but Fats Navarro could have done so much more...

Calypso is the most prominent 20th century musical style in the islands of Trinidad and Tobago. The instrumentation is primarily percussion and a brass section. Vocals can describe carnival partying or involve pointed social commentary. The political aspect of calypso caused successive bans on different percussion materials in the early 20th century leading to the introduction of the steel pan into calypso bands in the 1930s. 
Wilmoth Houdini - Caroline 3:07
Sam Manning - Lieutnant Julian 3:01
King Radio - Jitterbug 3:03
from Calypso Pionners, Vol. 2 (1925 - 1947)
Although recordings of calypso music outside of Trinidad and Tobago have always been common, calypso gained a broad audience in the US and UK in the mid-20th century thanks to several celebrated songs and artists. In 1944, Lord Invader's song Rum and Coca Cola was recorded without permission by the The Andrews Sisters and spent 10 weeks at #1 on the US pop charts. Around 1950, Lord Kitchener, The Mighty Terror, and Lord Beginner all relocated temporarily to London, and were part of a growing wave of Caribbean Music in the UK.

from 1945 - 1946 Complete Jazz Series 

The sixth CD in Classics' series of Lionel Hampton records documents his music during a one-year period. Hampton's big band, riding high after "Flying Home," continued to grow in popularity during this era. The vibraphonist's showmanship and his sidemen's extroverted solos generated constant excitement, as can be heard throughout these 20 selections...

from 1953 - 1956
Calypso is a style of Afro-Caribbean music that originated in Trinidad and Tobago during the early to mid-19th century and eventually spread to the rest of the Caribbean Antilles and Venezuela by the mid-20th century. Its rhythms can be traced back to West African Kaiso and the arrival of French planters and their slaves from the French Antilles in the 18th century.

A music and film icon whose natural blend of country, pop, and R&B sold millions and became the cornerstone of rock & roll. Elvis Presley may be the single most important figure in American 20th century popular music. Not necessarily the best, and certainly not the most consistent. But no one could argue with the fact that he was the musician most responsible for popularizing rock & roll on an international level. Viewed in cold sales figures, his impact was phenomenal. Dozens upon dozens of international smashes from the mid-'50s to the mid-'70s, as well as the steady sales of his catalog and reissues since his death in 1977, may make him the single highest-selling performer in history.

How Do You Think I Feel? (Guitar Tape Slapback Rehearsals) 4:22

from The Complete Works 1953-1955 - Memphis Recording Service (MRS)
It has been more than a decade since Pirzada’s ground breaking (and more expensive) books, co-written with John Michael Heath, Elvis Presley Memphis Recording Service Volume 1 1953-1954 and Memphis Recording Service Volume 2 – 1955 The Rise of Elvis Presley. Some may view ‘Elvis Presley The Complete Works 1953-1955’ as a pared down version of these earlier releases but nevertheless is a still highly enjoyable and valuable offering from MRS. The fact that Pirzada's earlier books are sold-out and hard to find is another good reason for this new MRS volume examining Elvis' early work.

Regarded as the last of the great Chicago harmonica players, he was an impressive stylist and a leading practitioner of postwar blues harmonica.

Lord, Lord (Junior Wells) feat. Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann  2:42
So All Alone (Junior Wells) feat. Willie Dixon, Muddy Waters, Otis Spann 3:22
from Blues Hit Big Town,
the 1953-54 Recordings
This collection of Wells' debut recordings for the States label adds four previously unheard tracks along with the original 13-track vinyl lineup. Wells' legacy begins with these landmark sides, featuring Elmore James, Muddy Waters, Johnnie Jones, Otis Spann, Willie Dixon, and the Aces in the lineup at various points. Whether it's a slow one like his original take on "Hoodoo Man" or a jump number like "Cut That Out," the grooves are classic Chicago and a mile deep. Most telling are the acoustic duets with Louis Myers recorded between the 1953 and 1954 studio sessions and the fine instrumentals like "Junior's Wail" and "Eagle Rock." Although at the start of a long career, it's obvious that Junior Wells was already a young man with a style all his own, ready to make blues history. File under essential.
