Duke Pearson – Sweet Honey Bee
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Pianist/composer Duke Pearson leads an all-star group on this run-through of seven of his compositions. The musicians (trumpeter Freddie Hubbard, altoist James Spaulding, Joe Henderson on tenor, bassist Ron Carter, drummer Mickey Roker, and the pianist/leader) are actually more impressive than many of the compositions, although the swinging minor-toned “Big Bertha” deserved to become a standard. The frameworks are quite intelligent (and everyone doesn’t solo on each selection), and the improvisations are concise and clearly related to each tune’s melody and mood.
Personnel: Duke Pearson (piano); James Spaulding (alto saxophone, flute); Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Freddie Hubbard (trumpet); Ron Carter (bass); Mickey Roker (drums).

Hank Mobley – A Caddy For Daddy
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Like many of Hank Mobley’s mid-’60s Blue Note dates, A Caddy For Daddy features Lee Morgan, Billy Higgins, and an attempt to recapture the funky backbeat of Morgan’s hit “The Sidewinder.” What’s different here is that Mobley leads a quintet with the addition of the fabulous Curtis Fuller on trombone, Coltrane’s pianist McCoy Tyner, and veteran bassist Bob Cranshaw rounding out the group. The vibe is bluesy and swinging, like most Mobley dates, with plenty of choice hard-bop moments from the assembled crew.
The “Sidewinder” of this disc is the title track, which once again finds Higgins easing into a quasi-Latin funk under a gutbucket melody by the horns. Beyond this opening resides the meat of the session. The dark, bouncing waltz “The Morning After” is a curiously flighty groove with crisp ensemble work by the horns and tasty solos all around. The comically titled swinger “Venus Di Mildew” follows and continues the laid-back groove that permeates the session. The most driving cut is the punchy “Ace Deuce Trey,” an intricate piece that offers some of Mobley’s best soloing of the date. Finally, the bopping “3rd Time Around,” an uptempo burner, closes the set with a frenzy.
Personnel: Hank Mobley (tenor saxophone); Lee Morgan (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); McCoy Tyner (piano); Bob Cranshaw (bass); Billy Higgins (drums).

Stanley Turrentine – Easy Walker
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Easy Walker is a fairly standard but highly enjoyable small-group soul-jazz session from Stanley Turrentine. Backed by a rhythm section of pianist McCoy Tyner, drummer Mickey Roker, and bassist Bob Cranshaw, Turrentine turns in a number of rich, round, and full-bodied leads which are perfectly complemented by Tyner’s strutting, sympathetic piano. Largely divided between midtempo grooves and slow blues, with a couple of pop covers like “What the World Needs Now Is Love,” thrown in, Easy Walker doesn’t offer much challenging material, but it does let the musicians work a good groove, and occasionally showcase their improvisational skills, making it a good, relaxing soul-jazz session.
Personnel: Stanley Turrentine (tenor saxophone); McCoy Tyner (piano); Bob Cranshaw, Gene Taylor (bass); Mickey Roker, Ray Lucas, Billy Cobham (drums).

Steve Kuhn – Three Waves
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Predictable is not an adjective associated with the recordings of pianist Steve Kuhn. He is joined by bassist Steve Swallow and drummer Pete La Roca for this exciting studio session from the mid-1960s, both of whom he had worked with under Art Farmer, as well as on La Roca’s smashing debut as a leader, Basra. With the exception of “Ida Lupino” and “Never Let Me Go,” the music will likely be unfamiliar to most jazz fans, but adventurous souls are in for a treat. Kuhn’s originals include the furious modal work “Bits and Pieces,” which sounds as if it represents the center of a storm, as well as “Today I Am a Man,” which suggests a well-known composition from the heyday of the bop era. “Why Did I Choose You” is played with a soft bossa nova accent, while Sergio Mihanovich’s “Three Waves” is intense, with overlapping changes of rhythm. “Never Let Me Go,” a favorite of singers, is understated and subtle, only hinting briefly at the melody.
Steve Kuhn Trio: Steve Kuhn (piano); Steve Swallow (bass); Pete LaRoca (drums).

Joe Henderson – Mode For Joe
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Given the date of this release and the band lineup, one might assume that this is a straight-up hard-bop album. However, this 1966 Joe Henderson record–featuring trumpeter Lee Morgan, trombonist Curtis Fuller, vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson, pianist Cedar Walton, bassist Ron Carter, and drummer Joe Chambers–is a great example of modern jazz at its best. Mode For Joe was recorded during a time of sweeping musical changes due to developments in free jazz, soul jazz, and even early experiments with fusion. It was a time when the bluesy and funky leanings of hard-boppers were giving way to more individualized contemporary approaches. One of the best examples of this shift, MODE FOR JOE sounds more like the experimental work of Branford Marsalis than the groovy musings of Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers.
The last track on Mode For Joe, “Free Wheelin’,” is the only dyed-in-the-wool hard-bop tune heard here. Other than that, this outing’s mostly up-tempo songs serve as vehicles for solos. Henderson himself proves that the template for players such as Marsalis, Joe Lovano, and Joshua Redman was invented a generation earlier, as evidenced on “A Shade of Jade,” “Black,” and others, making this one of the sax legend’s most intriguing albums.
Personnel: Joe Henderson (tenor saxophone); Lee Morgan (trumpet); Curtis Fuller (trombone); Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone); Cedar Walton (piano); Ron Carter (bass); Joe Chambers (drums).

Bobby Hutcherson – Happenings
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Happenings was vibraphonist Bobby Hutcherson’s fourth Blue Note release as a leader. Where its predecessors Dialogue and Components were packed with challenging avant-bop, Happenings instead brings things down a notch. With pianist Herbie Hancock, drummer Joe Chambers, and bassist Bob Cranshaw on board, Hutcherson keeps the tone fairly light, performing his original compositions (the exception is Hancock’s “Maiden Voyage”) with a mellow, swinging style that emphasizes modal exploration. The performances are all top-notch, and the album still weighs in as one of the best in Hutcherson’s fine catalogue.
Personnel: Bobby Hutcherson (vibraphone, marimba); Herbie Hancock (piano); Bob Cranshaw (bass); Joe Chambers (drums).

Donald Byrd – Mustang!
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
After experimenting stylistically on 1963′s A New Perspective(the record included a gospel choir singing with a jazz septet), Donald Byrd returned to playing straight-ahead hard bop in the manner of his late-’50s and early-’60s Blue Note releases. Mustang is one such album–a recording of fine, swinging jazz of the quality one expects from Byrd and his associates. With the help of stellar personnel–including Hank Mobley and McCoy Tyner–Byrd burns through this excellent set.
In addition to cover tunes (Duke Ellington’s “I Got It Bad and That Ain’t Good” and Sylvester Kyner’s title cut), there are several Byrd originals. The boogaloo-themed “Dixie Lee” and the breakneck-paced “Fly Little Bird Fly” give the instrumentalists plenty of room to stretch out.

Wayne Shorter Albums!

Though some will argue about whether Wayne Shorter’s primary impact on jazz has been as a composer or as a saxophonist, hardly anyone will dispute his overall importance as one of jazz’s leading figures over a long span of time. Though indebted to a great extent to John Coltrane, with whom he practiced in the mid-’50s while still an undergraduate, Shorter eventually developed his own more succinct manner on tenor sax, retaining the tough tone quality and intensity and in later years, adding an element of funk. On soprano, Shorter is almost another player entirely, his lovely tone shining like a light beam, his sensibilities attuned more to lyrical thoughts, his choice of notes becoming more spare as his career unfolded. Shorter’s influence as a player, stemming mainly from his achievements in the 1960s and ’70s, has been tremendous upon the neo-bop brigade who emerged in the early ’80s, most notably Branford Marsalis. As a composer, he is best known for carefully conceived, complex, long-limbed, endlessly winding tunes, many of which have become jazz standards yet have spawned few imitators.

Bobby Hutcherson – Stick-Up!
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
Bobby Hutcherson’s Stick-Up!, an all-star date from 1966, is a bit of a departure from the musician’s regular Blue Note sessions of the time. Featuring saxophonist Joe Henderson, pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Herbie Lewis, and drummer Billy Higgins, this album has a distinct straight-ahead feel in comparison with more esoteric sessions like Patterns or Components. Nonetheless, this date finds Hutcherson in top form, with excellent dexterity on the vibes and stunning solo spots that match those of his distinguished guests.
Stick-Up! is also unique in that Hutcherson himself composed all but one of the tracks, Ornette Coleman’s “Una Muy Bonita.” Hutcherson’s burning “8/4 Beat” is a very bebop flavored number that features dynamic work from Henderson. The wistful “Summer Nights” is a gentle ballad-a perfect showcase for Hutcherson’s highly sensitive mallet work. A high point of the disc is the challenging “Black Circle,” a demanding piece that Hutcherson and Henderson pull off expertly before launching into a blistering solo section. Likewise, the closing “Blues Mind Matter” is a powerful hard-bop statement from this most engaging vibraphone master.

02. 8/4 Beat
03. Summer Nights
04. Black Circle

Wayne Shorter – Adam’s Apple
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
For Adam’s Apple Wayne Shorter returned to the simple quartet format for the last time in his solo career. This date from 1966 shows the saxophonist firmly between his modal style of the early ’60s and his more experimental avant-garde period that was to come with albums like Schizophrenia and Super Nova. The effect of Shorter’s membership in Miles Davis’ legendary group is evident, as his improvisations here are more adventurous and his rhythmic drive more pointed and angular than previous efforts. Above all, this session gives us one last look at Shorter at his most unveiled.
The soulful opening title track is a direct precursor to the jazz-rock style that would dominate the jazz world in the late ’60s and ’70s. A more traditional feel is incorporated for the dark “502 Blues (Drinkin’ and Drivin’),” a beautiful showcase for Shorter’s sensitive side. The bossa nova “El Gaucho” is a highlight and one the saxophonist’s most overlooked compositions. Of special note, the classic “Footprints” is presented here for the first time, several months before it was recorded by the Davis group. The delicate ballad “Teru,” the bouncing “Chief Crazy Horse” and the bonus swinger “The Collector” complete this must-have session.
Personnel: Wayne Shorter (tenor saxophone); Herbie Hancock (piano); Joe Chambers (drums).

Roscoe Mitchell Sextet – Sound
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
With Sound, saxophonist Roscoe Mitchell unloosed blazing glory in 1967. Expressing an emphasis on music as, of course, “sound” rather than “tune,” Mitchell’s sextet starts with an immediately fast gait. The quickness is undergirded by Malachi Favors’s bass and Lester Lashley’s cello on “Ornette,” of which an alternate take opens the CD. Here Lester Bowie’s trumpet is early in the cycle of exploration that gave the Art Ensemble of Chicago–of which both Bowie and Mitchell are charter members–such a slurry brass force. Tenor saxophonist Maurice McIntyre develops his twisty solo logic from chunks mulled over, shredded, and unpacked. Mitchell’s alto cuts quickly and incisively, as well as providing eerie and lengthy sheets of notes in “Sound 1,” where Lashley takes up trombone and provides a slippery brass skyline, with Alvin Fielder’s malletted cymbals providing the blustering clouds.

The Paul Horn Quintet with Voices – Here’s That Rainy Day
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
One of the great gifts of music its capacity to create a mood-or to perfectly relflect a mood alreay present in the mind and heart of the listener. In this album, Paul is backed by his quintet, augmented by two harps and a chorus. The Voices are used differently than they have been in the past. They sing only the most important line in each song. The rest of the time the chours becomes an instrumental section, with Paul’s Horn taking over as the lyricist. Whether telling the story on clarinet, bass flute or alto flute, Paul’s message is a bittersweet sound, so sensuous, so touching, that it is impossible to hear it without being moved to a new level of mood…a mood that haunts you on “That Rainy Day”.

Herbert Jeffrey “Herbie” Hancock (born April 12, 1940, in Chicago, Illinois) is an American pianist, bandleader and composer. As part of Miles Davis’s “second great quintet”, Hancock helped redefine the role of a jazz rhythm section, and was one of the primary architects of the “post-bop” sound. He was one of the first jazz musicians to embrace synthesizers and funk. Hancock’s music is often melodic and accessible; he has had many songs “cross over” and achieved success among pop audiences. His music embraces elements of funk and soul while adopting freer stylistic elements from jazz. In his jazz improvisation, he possesses a unique creative blend of jazz, blues, and modern classical music, with harmonic stylings much like the styles of Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel.
Hancock’s best-known solo works include “Cantaloupe Island”, “Watermelon Man” (later performed by dozens of musicians, including bandleader Mongo Santamaría), “Maiden Voyage”, “Chameleon”, and the singles “I Thought It Was You” and “Rockit”. His 2007 tribute album “River: The Joni Letters” won the 2008 Grammy Award for Album of the Year, only the second jazz album ever to win the award after Getz/Gilberto in 1965.

Sun Ra And His Myth Science Arkestra – We Travel The Spaceways

This is “We Travel the Space Ways”, Recorded mostly in 1960, the album was released in 1967, on Sun Ra’s own label Saturn. The album brings together a number of eras and personnel of the Arkestra, and was probably mostly recorded by Ra himself during rehearsals.

Cecil Taylor – Conquistador!
Posted by dOk | Filed under 1966, Jazz
One of Cecil Taylor’s most striking albums of the 60s – and one of the few in which he works with a larger than usual group! The lineup is incredible – the cream of the arch-modern players of the avant era, including Bill Dixon, Jimmy Lyons, Henry Grimes, Alan Silva, and Andrew Cyrille – and Cecil himself plays with a firey style that’s got the best energy of some of his earlier European recordings, but a tighter approach that’s even more compelling.

In 1961, four fellows from Houston transplanted themselves to Los Angeles and added more distinctly bluesy elements to the soul jazz style with an ear-grabbing album called The Freedom Sound on the Pacific Jazz label. The band, which had been known in turn as the Swingsters, the Modern Jazz Sextet, and the Nighthawks, was now named the Jazz Crusaders. Its four co-leaders were trombonist Wayne Henderson, tenor saxophonist (and occasional bassist) Wilton Felder, pianist Joe Sample, and drummer Nesbert “Stix” Hooper.
The Jazz Crusaders sound caught on big time, and their subsequent Pacific Jazz albums rewarded them with a good deal of exposure. The band performed regularly and got plenty of airplay. One of its signature pieces, the rollickingly fast “Young Rabbits,” was even used as the musical background for a Ford Mustang TV commercial.
But as times changed, so did the Jazz Crusaders. In the late Sixties, they placed such popular numbers as the Beatles’ “Eleanor Rigby” and “Get Back” in their repertoire, and firm backbeats began to bolster many a selection. By 1971, they decided that the word “jazz” kept them from attracting a wider listener base, and so they emerged anew with The Crusaders, Vol. 1 (Chisa), an album that openly infused jazz with pop, soul, and r&b elements.
If the Jazz Crusaders had achieved some degree of popularity, it was nothing like the crossover success that greeted the Crusaders. Such albums as Scratch, Southern Comfort, Chain Reaction, Those Southern Knights, Free as the Wind, Images, Street Life, and Royal Jam (recorded variously for the Chisa, ABC Blue Thumb, and MCA labels) sold well and brought in a deluge of new fans. Street Life’s title track provided the Crusaders with a Billboard top forty hit, reaching no. 36 in 1979.
The Crusaders’ popularity started to fade in the early Eighties, prompted by Henderson’s departure. Hooper then left as well, and by the early Nineties Sample and Felder had disbanded the group. A few years later, Henderson and Felder began performing together, first as the New Crusaders and, more recently, as the Jazz Crusaders.
