Booker Ervin: The In Between -- 1968
by Marc Davis
There's a kind of music I like to think of as harder bop. It's a lot like conventional 1950s hard bop, but tougher, more muscular, more cerebral. Booker Ervin's The In Between is that kind of record. Ervin has an edgy style. It starts with a John Coltrane feel, then pushes a little further. ...
Dick Sisto/Steve Allee Quartet: Earth Tones
by Dan Bilawsky
While Earth Tones is the first album credited to the Dick Sisto/Steve Allee Quartet, it's not this foursome's first rodeo. This group has been at it as a working band for quite a while now, and it previously released Spirit of Life (Jazzen, 2013)--a date under Sisto's name that concentrates on the work of John Coltrane, ...

Federico Bonifazi: You'll See
by Chris Mosey
Federico Bonifazi is a young, unknown Italian pianist/composer who had the wherewithal and common sense to hire Jimmy Cobb as drummer on this, his second album. The name on the cover of the last surviving member of the Miles Davis sextet that made Kind Of Blue can't help but sell records.
Johnny Griffin: The Congregation – 1957
by Marc Davis
Well, this is a disappointment. Johnny Griffin is widely regarded as one of the fastest sax players in jazz history. His reputation began with his very first album, Blue Note's Introducing Johnny Griffin in 1956. He solidified his rep the next year with a frantic three-sax attack on A Blowin' Session with John Coltrane ...
Theo Saunders: Jassemblage
by Chuck Koton
Veteran Manhattan-born pianist, composer and arranger, Theo Saunders, has been a driven artist since his days at the High School For Performing Arts. In the ensuing decades, whether in NYC or California, his devotion to improvisational music has led him to stamp his personal vision on the music he plays, whether composing compelling original music or ...

John Coltrane: Blue Train
If Blue Note Records producer Alfred Lion had regrets, topping the list would probably be chasing after his cat. In late 1956 or early '57, the dumb curiosity of the office feline would wind up killing what could have been the label's most lucrative catch—John Coltrane. More on this escapade in a moment. [Photo above of ...
