On Basie's Bandstand

On Basie's Bandstand (2003) more music like this

by Richard "Groove" Holmes

Some wags might claim there's already enough organ-based '60s soul-jazz in the Prestige catalog without throwing a previously unreleased album of the stuff on the bonfire. And your first inclination might be to dismiss this trio date, on which Richard "Groove" Holmes is joined by guitarist Gene Edwards and drummer George Randall, as more of the ...

Bop Lives!

Bop Lives! (2003) more music like this

by Various Artists

When bebop came along in the mid-'40s, the style encountered more than its share of hostility; some swing and Dixieland musicians had difficulty comprehending the innovations of Charlie Parker, Dizzy Gillespie, Bud Powell, and Thelonious Monk. Regardless, bop remained, and when Delmark assembled this bop-oriented compilation in 2003, the style had ...

From Cool to Bop: The Anthology (2002) more music like this

by Miles Davis

The late '40s were a very productive time for Miles Davis, who was still in Charlie Parker's employ when, in 1947, he started recording as a leader.

The terms cool ...

In Paris Festival International de Jazz [Columbia] (1977) more music like this

by Miles Davis-Tadd Dameron Quintet

Miles Davis was best-known during the late '40s for offering an alternative approach to trumpeters Dizzy Gillespie and Fats Navarro, emphasizing his middle register, a softer tone and a more thoughtful approach.

In Copenhagen (2008) more music like this

by Bud Powell

Bud Powell's health and ability to play brilliant bop piano clearly were both in decline between the mid-'50s to the early '60s. But living in Paris seemed to suit him, and these sessions from Copenhagen, Denmark in 1962 show Powell in relatively good form, four years before his death. This recording has importance for two reasons beyond Powell's ...
