The Shape of Jazz to Come

The Shape of Jazz to Come (1959) more music like this

by Ornette Coleman

Ornette Coleman's Atlantic debut, The Shape of Jazz to Come, was a watershed event in the genesis of avant-garde jazz, profoundly steering its future course and throwing down a gauntlet that some still haven't come to grips with. The record shattered traditional concepts of harmony in jazz, getting rid of not only the piano player but the whole ...

Rejoicing (1983) more music like this

by Pat Metheny with Charlie Haden and Billy Higgins

Pat Metheny takes a vacation from his Group and performs advanced material with bassist Charlie Haden and drummer Billy Higgins. In addition to Horace Silver's "Lonely Woman," Haden's "Blues for Pat," and three Ornette Coleman tunes, the guitarist plays three of his originals here, including "The Calling," a lengthy exploration of sounds with his ...

Naked City (1989) more music like this

by John Zorn

The violent cover photo (which shows a man after he was shot dead) sets the stage for the rather passionate music on this John Zorn set. With guitarist Bill Frisell, keyboardist Wayne Horvitz, bassist Fred Frith, drummer Joey Baron, and guest vocalist Yamatsuka Eye making intense contributions, altoist Zorn performs his unpredictable originals, ...

La Serpenta Canta

La Serpenta Canta (2003) more music like this

by Diamanda Galás

Blues is a scary form of music. The authentic blues relies on the turmoil of strong, often shameful emotions. Bluesmen like John Lee Hooker and Screamin' Jay Hawkins could sing in a very scary voice that sent shivers down your spine. So can Diamanda Galás. In fact, she's the scariest of them all. Then again, she's not a blues singer. Or isn't she? ...

Lonely Woman

Lonely Woman (1962) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Having sponsored Ornette Coleman at the School of Jazz near Lennox, MA, pianist and composer John Lewis helped launch the controversial career of one of the last great innovators in jazz. Lewis' support of the ragtag Texas native was somewhat unique in jazz circles at the time and even surprising, especially considering the gulf between the ...

Momentum

Momentum (2005) more music like this

by Joshua Redman Elastic Band

Once again featuring the expansive keyboard talents of Sam Yahel, saxophonist Joshua Redman's Momentum features more of the '70s-influenced jazz the former "young lion" experimented with on 2002's Elastic. Bringing to mind works by such iconic artists as Miles Davis, Herbie Hancock, and especially Eddie Harris, Redman digs into sundry groove ...

Random Abstract (1987) more music like this

by Branford Marsalis

Branford Marsalis (on tenor and soprano) and his 1987 quartet (which also includes pianist Kenny Kirkland, bassist Delbert Felix and drummer Lewis Nash) stretch out on a wide repertoire during this generally fascinating set. Very much a chameleon for the date, Marsalis does close impressions of Wayne Shorter on "Yes and No," John Coltrane ( ...

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 ...

Classic Jazz: Jazz Greats

Classic Jazz: Jazz Greats (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

The Time/Life compilation Classic Jazz: Jazz Greats collects some of the most iconic and influential jazz artists onto one disc. While this in no way conveys the wide stylistic breadth and individual artist contributions of jazz history, it does offer a pleasing single-disc introduction to what is largely considered the mainstream acoustic jazz ...

Ken Burns Jazz (2000) more music like this

by Ornette Coleman

In conjunction with the release of Ken Burns' ten-part, 19-hour epic PBS documentary Jazz, Columbia issued 22 single-disc compilations devoted to jazz's most significant artists, as well as a five-disc historical summary. Since the individual compilations attempt to present balanced overviews of each artist's career, tracks from multiple labels ...

Rhino Flashback's Nighttime Jazz is a budget-priced, ten-track collection containing previously released material recorded in the '60s on the Atlantic label and includes "Lonely Woman" (Ornette Coleman), "I Love You Yes I Do" (Rahsaan Roland Kirk), "Angel Eyes" (Modern Jazz Quartet), and vocalist Betty Carter's version of "'Round Midnight."

The Other Portrait (1996) more music like this

by Ken Peplowski

Recorded in Bulgaria with the Bulgarian National Symphony, this is a very different release for clarinetist Ken Peplowski. Although he does play brief unaccompanied versions of "Milestones," "Anthropology," "Single Petal of a Rose" and Jimmy Hamilton's "Duet," Peplowski also performs Witold Lutoslawski's "Dance Preludes," Darius Milhaud's ...

The Birth of the Cruel (1988) more music like this

by Cruel Frederick

It's reasonably safe to say that there aren't a whole lot of albums that include covers of Henry Mancini and Albert Ayler, but here's one. The deliciously titled The Birth of the Cruel is the skewed product of a quartet of Californians with an appreciation of the darkly melodic styles of musicians like Ayler, hence their choice of Ornette Coleman ...

The Comedy/Lonely Woman (2006) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Simply put, this is Collectables' issue of two fine, early Atlantic recordings by MJQ. While it's true that Lonely Woman might have been better served aesthetically by being paired with the brilliant self-titled debut for the label instead of The Comedy, these two offerings were basically in chronological order and released in 1962. The Comedy is ...

Panorama (1999) more music like this

by Stevens, Siegel & Ferguson

Stevens, Siegel & Ferguson -- the jazz group whose name sounds like that of a New York law firm -- usually favor a piano trio format. But on Panorama, the group often becomes a quartet, thanks to the presence of trumpet-playing guest Valery Ponomarev. Those who are familiar with Ponomarev's background know that he is a Russian immigrant who spent ...

Atlantic Jazz: The Avant Garde (1986) more music like this

by Various Artists

Part of a 12-volume set of LPs that covered Atlantic's history of jazz slotted into neat little genre labels, Atlantic Jazz: The Avant Garde is not an entirely satisfying disc. Partially this is because most of the artists represented here -- including Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus, and Don Cherry -- did their most exploratory and adventurous ...

Devotion (1988) more music like this

by Big World

Guitarist John Anello, Jr.'s Cexton Records didn't release a lot of avant-garde jazz in the 1980s or 1990s, but the label did have a noteworthy inside/outside recording in Big World's Devotion (which the group produced with Anello). Though not nearly as extreme as the music of Albert Ayler or Cecil Taylor, this experimental CD is fairly left of ...

Sonny Stitt, Eddie Harris, Charles Lloyd, and David ...

Twilight World (2008) more music like this

by Marian McPartland

With her long-running series on public radio, Marian McPartland has seemed to many fans to always be a part of jazz. Just a few months shy of celebrating her 90th birthday at the time of these 2007 sessions, the pianist demonstrates why she has been able to play with so many different guests on her program. But this is a regular trio date with her ...

There are 15 selections taken from 13 different albums with the highpoints including "Bags' Groove" (with Sonny Rollins), "Lonely Woman," "Django," "Sketch (For Double Quartet)" (with The Beaux ...

The Private Collection (2007) more music like this

by Charlie Haden

Bassist Charlie Haden gained his initial fame with the Ornette Coleman Quartet of 1959-61, developing an innovative style that allowed him to walk the bass and create a forward movement and momentum while not stating a chord structure. Haden worked on other rewarding groups through the years, including his Liberation Music Orchestra, the 1970s ...
