Coltrane's warp-speed sonic attack on this album was called by the critics but his playing kept evolving. In '61, he solidified the lineup of a new quartet with pianist McCoy Tyner, bassist Jimmy Garrison, and drummer Elvin Jones. Their playing was largely modal, based on the approach Coltrane had learned with Miles Davis. In the years that followed, the group began pushing towards total freedom. At the same time, Coltrane began to tackle more spiritual themes, which one can hear on the two suites A Love Supreme and Meditations. By his untimely death in 1967, Coltrane had moved entirely into free-form improvisation; yet even in his most chaotic playing one senses a higher purpose. John Coltrane was both a deeply spiritual person and a relentless stylistic innovator, who demolished the boundaries of jazz in search of transcendence. - Noah Enelow]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37874&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Thu, 27 Aug 2009 09:55:25 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.37874 art.37874 Bill Frisell art.37874 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37874&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.37874&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39956&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Wed, 7 Oct 2009 12:12:53 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.39956 art.39956 Keith Jarrett art.39956 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39956&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.39956&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Live/Evil (1970) and other recordings opposite Chick Corea. After swearing off the electric piano and organ, Jarrett proceeded to set the jazz world on its ear with his melodically masterful straight-ahead jazz dates and solo performances. In the legendary The Koln Concert (1975), he set the stage for a new breed of jazz that organically developed outside the realm of Bop -- though unfortunately a great number of new age pianists have butchered Jarrett's entrancing, rhythmic style. These days he tours sporadically, performing both classical and jazz music when not suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome. - Noah Enelow]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62112&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Sun, 15 Nov 2009 11:03:45 -0800 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.62112 art.62112 Charles Mingus art.62112 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62112&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.62112&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Blues and Roots, Mingus Ah Um, and Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus, Mingus.

The New York City native's most identifiable trademarks are his bloodied, high pitch-dwelling alto saxophone playing and, as a composer, his use of rapid, jarring juxtapositions -- in mood, volume, genre, and/or instrumentation. Both qualities featured heavily in his late '80s/early '90s supergroup Naked City, a sort of rock band summation of his work since the late '70s and one of his two most popular projects. The other, his Jewish-jazz quartet Masada, is relatively traditional, featuring Klezmer and Middle Eastern-flavored melodies in an energetic, Post Bop-to-Free Jazz context.

This unexpectedly popular project highlights the more melodic, less abrasive side of his mongrelized guitar style, a merger of jazz finesse, Punk attitude, and Chuck Berry-inspired rock 'n' roll simplicity with shards of blues, Surf, and Latin music. His past groups have emphasized these elements in varying proportions: Shrek was a noisy, confrontational outfit that combined simple, folk-like melodies with deconstructionist improv rampages; the aptly named Rootless Cosmopolitans came closer to "normal" rock and blues at times, but Ribot's cynical, knowingly off-key vocals and bleeding-amp guitar leads kept things off balance. These projects have their imperfections -- more so than the recent Cuban one -- but when you're dealing with someone who owns up to playing "wrong notes" in his solos, perfection is not to be expected, or even really desired. -

As a group leader, Holland recorded primarily for the famed avant-garde jazz ECM label, but he also carries forward the traditions of big band swing and small group bop (in this, he has much in common with drummer Elvin Jones and, especially, fellow bassist/composer/bandleader Charles Mingus). By the late 1990s, Dave Holland was enjoying major public recognition from jazz fans, in the 2000s, he started winning much deserved Grammy awards. The quiet, but obvious joy that Holland conveys while playing music on CD and in concert settings is a big part of his success. His music makes you feel good. - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7010&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Fri, 20 Nov 2009 12:50:54 -0800 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.7010 art.7010 Charles Lloyd art.7010 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7010&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.7010&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61468&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:30:03 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61468 art.61468 Sex Mob art.61468 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61468&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61468&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3427&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Modern Big Band Sun, 25 Oct 2009 10:21:35 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.3427 art.3427 Carla Bley art.3427 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3427&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.3427&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56654&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Avant Garde Jazz Tue, 17 Mar 2009 20:30:20 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.56654 art.56654 The Jazz Mandolin Project art.56654 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56654&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.56654&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Tour de Flux. - Jessy Terry]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61739&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Cool/West Coast Jazz Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:09:51 -0800 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61739 art.61739 Chico Hamilton art.61739 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61739&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61739&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9912&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Asia Tue, 6 Oct 2009 09:54:11 -0700 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.9912 art.9912 Min Xiao-Fen art.9912 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9912&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.9912&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Spring, River, Flower, Moon, Night -- serve as the most compelling examples of both her percussive, rapid-fire string attacks and the alternate moments of serenity characteristic of the music. - Will York]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11998&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Swing Sat, 21 Nov 2009 13:43:16 -0800 Top Avant Garde Jazz Artists on Rhapsody Online art.11998 art.11998 Raymond Scott art.11998 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11998&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.11998&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Favant-garde-jazz%2Fartist-chart.rss Looney Tunes soundtracks. Complex and enormously daunting from a musician's standpoint, the mutated Swing numbers were nonetheless popular in their pre-Looney Tunes day, even if Scott never really fit into the jazz world. Critics chastised his music for being rhythmically stiff and too clever for its own good, citing wordy titles like "Dinner Music for a Pack of Hungry Cannibals" as evidence. Only recently has he been granted a serious revaluation, having been championed by musicians such as clarinetist Don Byron. Coinciding with this rediscovery is a cult-level interest in Scott's later electronic music: his 1963 Soothing Sounds for Baby series was heralded upon its recent reissue as presaging everyone from Ambient pioneer Brian Eno to Krautrock legends Kraftwerk. Manhattan Research, Inc. (2000) gathers more of his earlier synthesizer explorations, from studio experiments to commercial jingles, with results that sound surprisingly in-step with developments in modern-day electronica. - Will York]]>
