Dexter Gordon: Our Man in Paris – 1963
by Marc Davis
For some reason, Dexter Gordon doesn't immediately leap to my mind when I think of A-list bop saxmen. He should. Our Man in Paris is all the evidence you need. Gordon made a bunch of terrific records for Blue Note from 1961 to 1964. Some say Go! from 1962, with pianist Sonny Clark, is ...
Jon Batiste: Staying Human
by Bob Kenselaar
Jon Batiste was named the bandleader of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (related news). This interview was originally published in January 2013. Nearly everything about Jonathan Batiste is steeped in New Orleans--from the way he talks, walks, and claps his hands to the way he plays the piano, composes, and leads his Stay ...
Sonny Clark: Cool Struttin’ – 1958
by Marc Davis
Blue Note Records was many things in the 1950s and '60s, but it was never the home of cool jazz. Yes, it was ground zero for hard bop in the '50s. And yes, it was the capital of soul-jazz in the '60s. But to release an album in 1958 (one year after Miles Davis' Birth of ...
Gryce and Byrd's Jazz Lab
In the early 1950s, as the 10-inch LP began rolling out, leaders of jazz recording sessions were given top billing followed by the size of their ensemble. Hence the Miles Davis Quintet, the Thelonious Monk Quartet and the Sonny Clark Trio. As the decade continued, jazz supergroups formed with multiple star soloists. Names were either created ...

È un delizioso debutto questo di Hyungjin Choi, pianista coreana dal 2008 a New York dove ha perfezionato i suoi studi alla New School for Jazz and Contemporary Music.

Paul Chambers: Whims of Chambers – Blue Note 1534
by Marc Davis
At Blue Note Records in the 1950s, bassist Paul Chambers and drummer Philly Joe Jones were about as common as grits at a Southern diner. And about as noticeable, too--not flashy, just solid and reputable. Blue Note never had a “house band," but if it had, Chambers and Jones would have been the hard ...
Louis Smith: Smithville – Blue Note 1594
.jpg)
by Marc Davis
Sometimes, thumbing through the old Blue Note catalogue, you wish for something brand new. Something not the usual Jimmy Smith--Lee Morgan--Lou Donaldson--Horace Silver. And then you find it and wonder, “Who is this guy? And what ever happened to him?" Louis Smith is that guy. The trumpeter recorded exactly two Blue Note ...
