Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet

Sonny Rollins with the Modern Jazz Quartet (1951) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet

Included here are some of Sonny Rollins' earliest sessions as a bandleader. These are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on Sonny Rollins With the Modern Jazz Quartet (1953). The title is a bit misleading though, since the MJQ -- with John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (bass), and Kenny Clarke (drums) -- is ...

Live

Live (1991) more music like this

by Bill Frisell/Kermit Driscoll/Joey Baron

A Bill Frisell solo can invoke amber waves of grain, the south side of Chicago, and various places in New England, all in the space of three bars. His tonal palette is hugely varied, yet his sound is completely personal -- only Richard Thompson can boast a guitar style so individual and fully realized. Think of the music of Duke Ellington, Charlie ...

The Complete Prestige Recordings (1949) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

This seven-CD box set lives up to its title, reissuing in chronological order all of tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins' recordings for Prestige.

by Sonny Rollins

Sonny Rollins' (tenor sax) earliest sessions as a bandleader are among the fresh and vibrant baker's dozen of selections on With the Modern Jazz Quartet (MJQ) (1971). However the title is somewhat of a misnomer as the MJQ -- featuring the respective talents of John Lewis (piano), Milt Jackson (vibes), Percy Heath (bass) and Kenny Clarke (drums) -- ...

Sonny Rollins [Prestige]

Sonny Rollins [Prestige] (1972) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

This budget compilation was originally released on double LP in 1972, as part of a series of compilations by Prestige in the 1970s. It was issued during Sonny Rollins' second period of self-imposed exile. The first occurred between 1959 and 1962, when Rollins recorded a dizzying number of sets under his own name, and as a featured guest with other ...

The Artistry of the Modern Jazz Quartet (1952) more music like this

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

Spanning one of the few transitional periods for the Modern Jazz Quartet when Connie Kay replaced Kenny Clarke as the group's drummer, The Artistry of the Modern Jazz Quartet covers the years from 1952-1955. By this point in the group's career, John Lewis was largely overseeing the quartet's repertoire, penning the bulk of the original material. ...

Have a Little Faith (1992) more music like this

by Bill Frisell

Bill Frisell has long been one of the most unique guitarists around. Able to switch on a moment's notice from sounding like a Nashville studio player to heavy metal, several styles of jazz, and just pure noise, Frisell can get a remarkable variety of sounds and tones out of his instrument. This set features Frisell in a quintet with Don Byron (on ...

The Curlew: Songs by Peter Warlock (2006) more music like this

by Andrew Kennedy (tenor), Daniel Pailthorpe (flute), Owen Dennis (cor anglais), Pavão Quartet, Simon Lepper (piano)

The songs of Peter Warlock (pseudonym of Philip Heseltine) are acknowledged gems of the vocal repertoire, yet they are still underperformed and underappreciated many decades after their composition. No doubt at one time Warlock's dubious personality and shocking suicide caused some people to regard him and his music with some suspicion or distaste ...

Complete Modern Jazz Quartet Prestige & Pablo Recordings (2003) more music like this

In typical Fantasy Records aplomb, this four-CD set collects the eight albums which the Modern Jazz Quartet either mentored or collaborated on during their tenure at the commencement and nadir of their reign as jazz's premier chamber ensemble. Beginning with the 1952 issue of Modern Jazz Quartet/Milt Jackson Quintet recording (the earlier Milt ...

Jazz Biography (2007) more music like this

by Sonny Rollins

It seems amazing, really, given the casualty rate among the first wave of bop musicians, but Sonny Rollins has actually had a jazz career that stretches over a half-century and he is still active and recording in the early part of the 21st century. This 16-track set features Rollins' earliest sides from 1949, 1950, and 1951 on the Prestige label ...
