His innovative style created the sub-genre of organ jazz, which many have followed. When he died this past February at age 76, Smith was ...

Grant Green: Retrospective

by Scott Morrow
December 9, 2002

About five years ago, I heard guitarist Grant Green's "Ain't it Funky Now," a burnin' J.B. cover on Blue and Funky , a various artists Hammond organ compilation from Blue Note. I’d never heard anything like his honest, cutting tone – it rocked and funked like crazy. I hadn’t purchased much jazz, other than Miles and ...

Horace Silver: Retrospective

by C. Andrew Hovan
October 1, 1999

We really don't have many living jazz legends walking around these days, but fortunately we're lucky enough to still have Horace Silver going strong (just check out his new release, Jazz Has a Sense of Humor, if you need proof) and maintaining the jazz tradition that he's so intimately tied to. Over the course of 26 ...

by Douglas Payne
October 1, 1999

This four-disc collection, however, attempts to amass Silver's significance in one fell swoop. Designed as ...
