Coltrane Jazz (1960) more music like this

by John Coltrane

The first album to hit the shelves after Giant Steps, Coltrane Jazz was largely recorded in late 1959, although one of the eight songs ("Village Blues") was done in late 1960. On everything save the aforementioned "Village Blues," Coltrane used the Miles Davis rhythm section of pianist Wynton Kelly, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Jimmy Cobb. ...

Ask Me Now! (1965) more music like this

by Pee Wee Russell Quartet

After a lifetime spent playing unusual and unpredictable clarinet solos in Dixieland settings, Russell late in life broke out of the stereotype and played in more modern settings. This Impulse LP (begging to be reissued on CD) has his clarinet placed in a pianoless quartet with valve trombonist Marshall Brown, playing tunes by John Coltrane, ...

Tootie's Tempo (1976) more music like this

by Tete Montoliu

Tete Montoliu's sixth release for Steeplechase is a very rewarding studio date, with the blind pianist being accompanied by bassist Niels Pedersen and drummer Albert "Tootie" Heath. Fans of hard bop will enjoy the extended opener, "Invitation," which gives each of the musicians an opportunity to solo. The fireworks continue with a lively ...

Inner Trust (1998) more music like this

by David Kikoski/Ed Howard/Leon Parker

One of David Kikoski's strongest offerings, Inner Trust is a departure in that it focuses primarily on non-original material. Three of the ten tracks are by the pianist, but the rest are standards and jazz classics. Joined by Leon Parker on drums and fellow Roy Haynes sideman Ed Howard on bass, Kikoski reaches consistently grand heights of ...

Unicorn (2004) more music like this

by Teruo Nakamura

Unicorn was bassist Teruo Nakamura's first date as a leader. Recorded and issued in Japan on the legendary Three Blind Mice imprint in 1973, Nakamura had been working in New York since 1964. He'd done a lot of hardscrabble work before 1969 when he landed the gig as bassist in Roy Haynes' fine group of the time. During that year he formed a band ...

Visiting Dignitaries (1997) more music like this

by Milo Petersen and the Jazz Disciples

This is a no-nonsense hard bop date with occasional hints toward classic bebop and today's post bop. Drummer Milo Petersen contributed all of the compositions except for John Coltrane's "Some Other Blues" and most of the music could have been recorded in 1965. However that is not a bad thing, particularly since the melodies are fresh, the chord ...

Cool Trane (2007) more music like this

by Bosso Meets Basso Quintet

The fifth meeting between rising Italian jazz trumpeter Fabrizio Bosso and veteran Italian tenor saxophonist Gianni Basso is a superb session, featuring works either written or recorded by John Coltrane. While some of the choices seem obvious, like "Naima" and "Blue Train," they are interpreted with passion even if no new ground is broken. But the ...

Baden 1972 (1998) more music like this

by Ben Webster & Dexter Gordon

It seems logical that expatriate tenors Ben Webster and Dexter Gordon would meet up on a few occasions while both were living in Europe. Despite being in different generations, they work together quite well on this radio broadcast, which also includes pianist Kenny Drew, bassist Bo Stief and drummer Ed Thigpen. Released for the first time on a ...
