The Very Best of John Coltrane [Rhino]

The Very Best of John Coltrane [Rhino] (2000) more music like this

by John Coltrane

Released in 2000, The Very Best of John Coltrane is hardly the first best-of collection by the seminal saxophonist, and you can bet certain that it won't be the last. Focusing on 'Trane's influential Atlantic output of the late '50s and early '60s, this CD shouldn't be confused with previous Best of John Coltrane collections from Pablo/Fantasy ...

Coltrane's Sound

Coltrane's Sound (1960) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This is one of the most highly underrated entries in Coltrane's voluminous catalog. Although the same overwhelming attention bestowed upon My Favorite Things was not given to Coltrane's Sound upon its initial release, both were actually recorded during the same three-day period in the fall of 1960. So prolific were those recording dates, they ...

From the Soul

From the Soul (1991) more music like this

by Joe Lovano

Joe Lovano heads a lineup with pianist Michel Petrucciani, bassist Dave Holland, and late drummer Ed Blackwell. It's hard-edged, explosive playing all around, with Blackwell laying down his patented bombs while Petrucciani and Holland converge behind Lovano's dynamic solos. Ron Wynn, All Music Guide

The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings

The Heavyweight Champion: The Complete Atlantic Recordings (1959) more music like this

by John Coltrane

The Heavyweight Champion is a box set that lives up to its title. Collecting all of John Coltrane's Atlantic recordings, including a fair number of unreleased takes as well as an entire disc of alternate tracks and studio chatter, the seven-disc box set documents a pivotal moment in Coltrane's career, as he was moving from hard bop and sweet ...

Visionary

Visionary (1995) more music like this

by Michael Mason

Stylistically, John Coltrane's work as a leader can be divided into three main periods: (1) his hard bop period of 1957-1959, (2) his modal/post-bop period of 1960-1964, and (3) his radical free jazz period of 1965-1967. Of course, the saxophone giant also had a long list of credits as a sideman, and that includes everything from his membership in ...

4 Brothers 7 (2007) more music like this

by Frank Tiberi

This septet tribute to Woody Herman features a band of Herman alumni put together by Frank Tiberi, who took over leading Herman's band after his death.

Encounter

Encounter (2006) more music like this

by Misja Fitzgerald Michel

French-born modern jazz guitarist Misja Fitzgerald Michel doesn't work in the all-skronk mode many automatically think of when considering contemporary European guitarists like Derek Bailey or Nels Cline. Indeed, his playing on tracks like the original ballad "Another World" recalls Wes Montgomery's fluid grace, and his closing version of John ...

The Last Giant: Anthology

The Last Giant: Anthology (1946) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This deluxe two-CD set contains a few revelations (a brief 1946 recording of "Hot House" featuring a 20-year-old John Coltrane, an aircheck with Dizzy Gillespie, and a rare side by Gay Crosse & the Good Humor Six in 1952) but mostly repackages familiar material and includes nothing from Coltrane's very important years with Impulse. Why weren't all ...

The Concord Jazz Heritage Series

The Concord Jazz Heritage Series (1979) more music like this

by Woody Herman

Woody Herman spent his twilight years recording for the Concord label, both with his big band and in all-star groups that he sponsored. For this 1998 sampler CD, Herman & His Orchestra are featured on a dozen selections (not programmed in chronological order) that often welcome guests. Herman himself takes clarinet solos on only six of the ...

The Road Begins Here (2001) more music like this

by Matt Jorgensen

This, the debut album from Matt Jorgensen as a bandleader, is something to be heard. Within, he sets out with a trio of Seattle-based players (Marc Seales on organ rather than his usual piano, Phil Sparks on bass, and Rob Davis on sax) to run through works from the greats of post-bop jazz (Miles, Trane) and a number of their own compositions, as ...

Special Edition (1979) more music like this

The debut recording by Jack DeJohnette's Special Edition is a classic. The drummer (who also plays some piano and melodica) is joined for three of his stimulating originals (including "Zoot Suite") and a pair of John Coltrane songs ("Central Park West" and "India") by tenor saxophonist David Murray (doubling on bass clarinet), altoist Arthur ...

The Best of John Coltrane [Atlantic] (1960) more music like this

by John Coltrane

This pithy yet effective compilation was part of a late-'60s/early-'70s "Best Of..." campaign from Atlantic Records that also boasted single-LP installments from the label's jazz elite, including Mose Allison, Ray Charles, Herbie Mann, Eddie Harris, the Modern Jazz Quartet, Charlie Mingus, Charles Lloyd, Hank Crawford, Ornette Coleman, and David ...

Art (1992) more music like this

by Ralph Peterson

Although this CD was dedicated to the recently deceased Art Blakey, drummer Ralph Peterson (a swinging player anyway) does not modify his own style or merely re-create Blakey's recordings. Instead he heads a notable quintet (with cornetist Graham Haynes, Steve Wilson on soprano and alto, pianist Michele Rosewoman and bassist Phil Bowler) that ...

John Hines is a fine hard bop-oriented trombonist from Colorado. For this CD he joins with pianist/keyboardist Michael Pagan, bassist Mike Williamson, and drummer Rob Ward for straight-ahead standards and complementary group originals. Guest trumpeter/flügelhornist Hugh Ragin guests on three numbers (playing muted à la Miles Davis on "I Could ...

Giant Steps (1982) more music like this

by Tommy Flanagan

Pianist Tommy Flanagan's playing seems to be more direct, edited and stronger as he gets older; certainly his reemergence in the mid-'70s as a solo artist produced his strongest work. Giant Steps, was a Feb. '82 tribute to John Coltrane with super backing from bassist George Mraz and drummer Al Foster...This set was particularly inventive; it was ...

Syzygy (1999) more music like this

by Jim Nolet

Over the years, artists ranging from Stuff Smith, Joe Venuti and Stephane Grappelli, to Jean-Luc Ponty and John Blake, have demonstrated how well the violin can work as a jazz instrument. Nonetheless, violinists are very much a minority in jazz -- for every jazz violinist you can name, you could easily name 50 or 100 alto sax players or trumpeters ...

Burnin' (1994) more music like this

by Jimmy Bruno

Burnin' is a most appropriate title for Jimmy Bruno's second album because much of the time, the guitarist is doing exactly that. A hard bopper with superb chops, Bruno loves to swing hard and fast, and he takes no prisoners on bop standards like Sonny Stitt's "Eternal Triangle" and John Coltrane's "Giant Steps." Known for its insanely difficult ...

Rejoice (1981) more music like this

by Pharoah Sanders

Originally a two-LP set on Theresa, this single CD (which contains all of the music) features Pharoah Sanders in excellent form in 1981. Sanders sounds much more mellow than he had a decade earlier, often improvising in a style similar to late-'50s John Coltrane, particularly on "When Lights Are Low," "Moments Notice" and "Central Park West." The ...

Slow Breath, Silent Mind (2005) more music like this

by Jacob Fred

The Jacob Fred Jazz Odyssey is a fascinating group. The trio explores seven jazz standards by the likes of Duke Ellington, Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane, Freddie Hubbard, and Wayne Shorter, but they are not exactly excessively reverent. In fact, in many cases they deconstruct the piece altogether, particularly "Up Jumped Spring," keeping the ...

Que Viva Coltrane (2004) more music like this

by Conrad Herwig & Brian Lynch

What more could Latin jazz fans ask for, seriously? Not only are all the players just this side of top guns, they have been playing together in the same group for just shy of ten years. An all-star lineup and the genuine synergy that comes with regular collaboration do not happen often. When they do, well, it's clave magic. Pianist Edsel Gomez's ...

T.T.T. was released on the Storyville label ten years after it was recorded live at Jazzhus Slukefter in Copenhagen, Denmark, on July 2, 1988. Montrose connects with his rhythm ...

The Fringe in New York (2000) more music like this

by George Garzone

With this record, George Garzone again proves that he's a heavy hitter on par with big names of his generation like Joe Lovano and Michael Brecker. Because his longstanding trio the Fringe is based in Boston, the title The Fringe in New York might lead one to think this is a live record. But it's actually a studio effort produced by the wonderful ...
