Joseph Maynor Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 (edited) Released in 1965. This is definitely a Post Bop album. A mature one at that. Post Bop is a thing. It's a paradigm shift from Bebop and even Hard Bop, although it can include those elements too. It started around 1960. It's very modal and static instead of so structured. It reminds me of the difference between Rock and Post Rock. Freddie Hubbard – trumpet George Coleman – tenor saxophone Herbie Hancock – piano Ron Carter – double bass Tony Williams – drums // Edited March 10 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 10 Author Share Posted March 10 (edited) Released in 1963. One of my favorite Jazz albums. Joe Henderson on tenor sax is on fire on this album. Just top notch. Very mature Post Bop album with Latin Jazz touches. I like Ronnie Matthews' tasteful and elegant piano playing. Kenny Dorham is one of my favorite trumpet players -- technique meets feel. He's a master musician. Joe Henderson is kind of a protégé of Kenny Dorham. Next level tenor sax player -- genius level. I enjoy the Post Bop basslines from Steve Davis too. J.C Moses is great on drums too. This is one of those lightning in a bottle albums. Kenny Dorham -- trumpet Joe Henderson -- tenor sax Ronnie Matthews -- piano Steve Davis -- double bass J.C. Moses -- drums // Edited March 10 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1957. One of my favorite albums. Hank Jones is one of my favorite piano players -- so elegant and his piano tone is amazing. Max Roach is just next level on this album on drums. Kenny Dorham - trumpet Sonny Rollins - tenor saxophone Hank Jones - piano Oscar Pettiford - double bass Max Roach - drums Betty Glamann - harp // Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1956. This album bridges Bebop and Hard Bop nicely. Horace Silver's playful style reminds me of Sonny Rollins and vice versa. They know how to bring humor into their style. One of my favorite albums. Hank Mobley is one of my favorite tenor saxophone players -- he's genius level in terms of both technique and feel.

Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1955. This album bridges Swing and Bebop nicely. One of my favorite albums. Lightning in a bottle album. Billy Strayhorn is a next level piano player -- just top notch. Vinyl serves this album in my opinion. Nice and warm! Johnny Hodges is a genius of feel on alto sax. This is a group of master Jazz musicians. Johnny Hodges - alto saxophone Clark Terry - trumpet Jimmy Hamilton - clarinet, tenor saxophone Lawrence Brown - trombone Harry Carney - baritone saxophone Billy Strayhorn - piano Jimmy Woode - double bass Sonny Greer - drums // Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1955. One of the best Jazz albums of all time. Nice bridging between Bebop and Hard Bop. This is a great version of this album in terms of sound quality. Lou Donaldson is on fire on this album on alto saxophone. I can tell Clifford Brown integrated a lot of Dizzy Gillespie's trumpet style -- he's so technical and lyrical that it's just phenomenal. This album is beyond top notch! Clifford Brown – trumpet Lou Donaldson – alto saxophone Horace Silver – piano Curley Russell – double bass Art Blakey – drums // Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1958. One of the best Bebop albums of all time. Stan Getz is one of my favorite tenor saxophone players -- genius level both in technique and feel. Ray Brown is one of my favorite bassists. Stan Getz' lyricism is amazing -- call and response interplay and melodic sense. I love Dizzy Gillespie's mastery of Latin Jazz and that comes out in his trumpet solos. I love Sonny Stitt's alto saxophone style. He's often compared to Bird (Charlie Parker), but he has his own unique style. He's a master and always interesting to listen to. He's a technical master and is interesting to listen to for me. I love his licks. Dizzy Gillespie - trumpet Sonny Stitt - alto saxophone Stan Getz - tenor saxophone Herb Ellis - guitar John Lewis - piano Ray Brown - double bass Stan Levey - drums // Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1955. Excellent Latin Jazz album. One of my favorite albums. Kenny Dorham – trumpet J.J. Johnson – trombone Hank Mobley – tenor saxophone Cecil Payne – baritone saxophone Horace Silver – piano Oscar Pettiford (tracks 1-4 and 9), Percy Heath (tracks 5-8) – double bass Art Blakey – drums Carlos Valdes – conga Richie Goldberg – cowbell // https://youtu.be/n88ArEaG9B4?list=PLhB3QRfIcpYqw87MFJQRCi9JZawx7GlAu Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 11 Author Share Posted March 11 (edited) Released in 1961. I like Art Farmer's simple, bright trumpet style. I can tell he was influenced by Miles Davis. He's different though. Fantastic phrasing. This album is top notch! Art Farmer – trumpet Tommy Flanagan – piano Tommy Williams – double bass Albert Heath – drums // Edited March 11 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joseph Maynor Posted March 12 Author Share Posted March 12 (edited) Released in 1964. Nice bridging between Hard Bop, Post Bop, and Latin Jazz. Joe Henderson is on fire on this album on tenor saxophone. He's a another next level beyond genius Jazz musician. His technique is excellent, his feel is excellent, and he has that extra special something that you can't put your finger on -- he's innovative, original, and forward looking. He's like a paradigm shift. If I can hear an influence it would be John Coltrane, but Joe Henderson is different than Coltrane too. Carmell Jones – trumpet Joe Henderson – tenor saxophone Horace Silver – piano Teddy Smith – double bass Roger Humphries – drums // Edited March 12 by Joseph Maynor Quote Mention Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
