Chico Hamilton
Chico Hamilton’s drumming with the original Gerry Mulligan Quartet and his own small groups helped introduce many young listeners to jazz in the 1950s.

Arnett Cobb: Tough Tenor
It's shaping up to be tenor sax sort of week. After all that Charlie Ventura over the past bunch of days, I found myself in the mood for Arnett Cobb. Born in Houston, Cobb played in locally bands until 1942, when he joined the Lionel Hampton Orchestra. Cobb played with Hampton until 1947—a critical period during ...
Charlie Ventura on Baritone
Saxophonist Charlie Ventura has gotten a bum rap. For too long he's been thought of as a Coleman Hawkins clone and his vast contributions to jazz and R&B have been overlooked or ignored. His name no longer comes up in jazz circles, and his recordings are rarely heard or praised. I can't think of the last ...
Steve and Eydie: That Holiday Feeling!

While that trumpet ...

Jazz This Week: Jeremy Davenport Comes Home, the Miles Davis Memorial Project Moves Forward, and More
Though the holiday means fewer touring jazz and creative musicians than usual will be passing through town over the next few days, this weekend will bring at least one significant musical visitor to St. Louis, as well as some noteworthy performances from local jazz players and a public meeting about an important jazz-related project. Let's go ...
Thanksgiving Jazz Feast
Once again, it's time for our annual JazzWax Thanksgiving dinner. Except here, there's no crackling fireplace or smell of roast turkey, stuffing and candied yams. Instead, we feast on music with titles that are perfect for this American holiday... Are We There Yet?—Tony Coe Quartet Just Arrived—Dollar Brand (Abdullah Ibrahim) Chasin' the Bird—Charlie Parker What Is ...
