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...

1973-1961

A remarkable tenor saxophonist whose passionate ballad playing and often fiery solos made him one of the most influential tenors in jazz. 
Joe Henderson
featuring Alice Coltrane
Alice Coltrane was an uncompromising pianist, composer, and bandleader who spent the majority of her life seeking spiritually in both music and her private life.
Fire (Joe Henderson) 11:07
Water (Joe Henderson) 7:32
from  The Elements 1973
This is one of the odder Joe Henderson recordings. The four lengthy selections not only feature the great tenor-saxophonist but the piano and harp of Alice Coltrane (during one of her rare appearances as a sideman), violinist Michael White, bassist Charlie Haden, percussionist Kenneth Nash and Baba Duru Oshun on tablas. The somewhat spiritual nature of the music (Henderson's compositions are titled "Fire," "Air," "Water" and "Earth") and the presence of Alice Coltrane makes these Eastern-flavored performances rather unique if not all that essential: an early example of world music in jazz...

House guitarist for Stax Records and co-writer of numerous '60s soul classics. 

Steve Cropper 

Crop Dustin' (Steve Cropper / Buddy Miles) 2:59

99 1/2 (Steve Cropper / Eddie Floyd / Wilson Pickett) 3:20

With a Little Help from My Friends (John Lennon / Paul McCartney) 5:33

from With a Little Help From My Friends 1971

After years of being a team player, Steve Cropper got to make a solo album for the label he helped put on the map, Stax Records (actually their Volt subsidiary). As you might figure, it turned out as an instrumental soul album, and a darn good one, too. It's a bona fide Telecaster-soaked dance workout...

Pioneering fusion guitarist who explored everything from psychedelic rock to unaccompanied acoustic music to straight-ahead bebop. 
Larry Coryell
Spaces (Infinite) (Julie Coryell) 9:23
Gloria's Step (Scott LaFaro) 4:32
Chris (Julie Coryell) 9:32
from Spaces 1970
This album features the pioneer fusion guitarist Larry Coryell with quite an all-star group. Two selections match Coryell with fellow guitarist John McLaughlin, bassist Miroslav Vitous (doubling on cello) and drummer Billy Cobham, all important fusion players at the time... Overall, the music has its energetic moments, but also contains some lyricism often lacking in fusion of the mid-'70s. In addition, all of the musicians already had their own original voices, making Spaces a stimulating album worth searching for.

1952-1943

Wally Mercer - Rock Around the Clock (Wallace Mercer) 2:42
Bill Haley - Rock the Joint (Doc Bagby / Harry "Fats" Crafton) 2:56
John Lee Hooker - Walkin' the Boogie (John Lee Hooker) 2:44
 from Roots of Rock N' Roll Vol 8 1952
This is the eighth volume in a series of double-disc anthologies from French label Fremeaux Records that chronicles the years that led up to the birth of rock & roll. While the magic year of 1954 is usually accepted as the dawn of the rock & roll age, the whole matter has always generated a good deal of debate, and this installment in the Fremeaux series only muddies the waters, since the year it covers, 1952, shows things rocking along pretty well... Whether these tracks contain the musical DNA that begat rock & roll or not is, in the end, fairly irrelevant, since these records rock, pedigree or no.

Exotica pioneer whose blend of Polynesian forms and orchestral arrangements appealed to the bachelor pad set of the 1950s and '60s. 
Les Baxter
Jalousie (Jacob Gade) 2:59
Venezuela (Alfredo Corenzo) 2:38
La Cumparsita (Gerardo Matos Rodríguez) 2:29
from Arthur Murray's Favorites: Tangos 1951
"Personally recommended for dancing by Arthur Murray." 

A brilliant, towering musical figure who through his singing and piano playing helped invent
soul and R&B music. Ray Charles was the musician most responsible for developing soul music. Singers like Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson also did a great deal to pioneer the form, but Charles did even more to devise a new form of black pop by merging '50s R&B with gospel-powered vocals, adding plenty of flavor from contemporary jazz, blues, and (in the '60s) country. Then there was his singing; his style was among the most emotional and easily identifiable of any 20th century performer, up there with the likes of Elvis and Billie Holiday. He was also a superb keyboard player, arranger, and bandleader. The brilliance of his 1950s and '60s work, however, can't obscure the fact that he made few classic tracks after the mid-'60s, though he recorded often and performed until the year before his death.

Ray Charles
I Love You, I Love You (I Will Never Let You Go) (J. Lee Lawrence) 2:40
Rockin' Chair Blues (Aaron McKee) 2:44
Sitting on Top of the World (Lonnie Chatmon / Walter Vinson) 2:15
from Blues & Rhythm Classics 1949-1950
1949-1950 highlights the earliest Ray Charles sessions for the Swingtime and Downbeat labels, featuring 15 tracks from 1949 and six from 1950. Anyone with the slightest interest in Charles should investigate this material. It's amazing to hear Charles' metamorphosis from silky-voiced pop crooning (imitating his idols Charles Brown and Nat King Cole) into his passionate gospel-powered voice shortly after he signed with Atlantic Records in 1952.
