Jazz: America's Music - Page 73 - The Lounge Discussion and Review on Literature, Arts, Culture

Not research yet. In the old days here in the Boston area, you could listen to Classical music in the morning, Ron Dela Chiesa playing the Great American Songbook in the Afternoon, and Eric in the Evening doing jazz until midnight. Unfortunately, those days are long gone. Now local PBS radio stations are all talk. But that was an education.

polyrhythmic Higgins and Haden
while Coleman and Cherry give a master class in plastic instruments

worth a listen with headphones
suggest at a minimum once focused on each instrument

horns are quick to fill the ears
but skin and gut maintain rhythm

the genre of free jazz sprouted from a place of structure
what you hear here is a foundational shift

I plumbed some of this building back in the early/mid 90s when it was built.

John Hicks starts some business around the 8:00 mark that might as well be Monk incarnate
Hicks played piano for Della Reese, as well as Pharoah Sanders and eventually Art Blakey
where he drummed a jazz message until '65,

Ben Webster was 63 and would pass a year later
Oscar wasn't quite 50 and continued to play for another 30 years
NHØP only 26 but already had toured with giants, he just joined Oscar
Tony Inzalaco apparently still alive out there somewhere even having been 86ed his last birthday
cheers Tony!
34 here and went on to play with Art Farmer and Dexter Gordon
