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 ...

The Complete Prestige Recordings

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. Dating mostly from 1951-1956, these valuable performances find Rollins developing from a promising player to a potential giant; many of his best recordings would take place a year or two after this program ...

Reggae Mix, Vol. 2 (2005) more music like this

by Various Artists

An energetic mix of mostly up-tempo dance tracks, Reggae Mix, Vol. 2 is designed to be spun at dancehall parties, and features Sean Paul's huge international hit "Get Busy," Wayne Wonder's "No Letting Go," the Fugees' reconfigured version of Bob Marley's "No Woman, No Cry," and Notch's relentlessly infectious (and tongue twisting) "Nuttin Nuh Go ...

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) -- ...

Stopper

Stopper (1991) more music like this

by Cutty Ranks

Not to be confused with fellow "rude boy" Shabba Ranks, Cutty Ranks is a popular dancehall artist who has fared well in both reggae and hip-hop circles. The Stopper is typical of Ranks' work and illustrates the fact that he likes his dancehall tough, hard and amelodic. There isn't a lot of variety on this CD, which underscores dancehall's ...

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

by The Modern Jazz Quartet

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 ...

Reggae: The Essential Album (2005)

by Various Artists

There's a lot of good music on this two-CD, 30-song compilation, but it overbills itself. This isn't the most essential reggae album, or even one of the most essential reggae compilations, due to imbalances in both chronology and quality. The first disc is certainly the less impressive, largely offering a scattershot selection of material from the ...

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. ...

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 ...
