<description><![CDATA[These innovative cool jazzers, who in their forty years of ensemble playing never enlisted a regular horn player, focused on thematic development through classically influenced writing. They also wrote several important jazz standards, including "Django" and "Bags' Groove." Bags was the nickname of vibraphonist Milt Jackson, who adapted Bebop styles to the vibes. But the most original jazz concepts in the group came from the group's pianist, arranger, and bandleader, John Lewis. Lewis was a student of European chamber music, and in his arrangements he attempted to blend classical counterpoint and fugue with jazz improvisation. The band even released an album of compositions by J.S. Bach. Like many classical composers, Lewis enjoyed writing music on themes from traditional theater, composing a series of sketches of the stock characters from the Commedia dell'Arte. The Modern Jazz Quartet captivated jazz and classical audiences until the death of drummer Connie Kay in 1994.

<description><![CDATA[Stan Kenton led one of the most successful big bands from the end of the Swing era through the counterculture revolution of the 1960s. Kenton's vision was unique and he often favored bombast and experimentation over the pulse of Swing. Oddly, the musicians he hired were the swingin'est around. Art Pepper, Anita O'Day, Shelly Manne, Shorty Rogers, Maynard Ferguson, June Christy and countless others all became stars with Kenton and went on to successful solo careers. If pretension often got the best of him, much of Kenton's music was great. Songs like "23 Degrees North - 82 Degrees West," -- which incorporated Latin rhythms without conga drums -- are still amazingly vital, while such albums as <I>City of Glass</I> remain cutting edge Third Stream works. Kenton's reputation suffered at the hands of latter day critics who complained that his music wasn't "black" enough. Today, people are waking up to the fact that his music was special because it sounded like no one else's.

<description><![CDATA[Eddie Daniels played saxophone for many years before he came to much acclaim for his clarinet style in the '80s. One of the GRP label's most dynamic acts, Daniels works in the Hard and Post Bop idioms, but many of his releases find him playing classically tinged Third Stream music without missing a beat.

<description><![CDATA[As both a pianist and composer, Lalo Schifrin has made an indelible mark on twentieth century music. He got his start in New York playing with Dizzy Gillespie's quintet in the early 1960s, but soon moved on to front his own Bossa Nova trio. Finally, he dove into the lucrative field of Film Soundtracks, becoming one of the most prolific film composers in history. Schifrin is responsible for the world's single most famous tune in five/four: the theme from Mission: Impossible has set the standard for catchy, compelling film soundtracks, and of course, inspired countless college marching bands. His non-soundtrack work consists of elegantly orchestrated Third Stream compositions, which bridge the gaps between jazz, Afro-Brazilian rhythm, and modern classical orchestration. Few composers can boast Schifrin's gift for setting a mood, whether it be suspense, romance, terror, or exaltation.

<description><![CDATA[Most of Turtle Island String Quartet's records have come out on the Windham Hill label, but they are not a new age group. Rather, they fall somewhere in between the worlds of jazz and classical, as suggested by a repertoire that includes arrangements of Monk and Metheny as well as Debussy and Bach. Likewise, their collaborators have ranged from Hard Bop pianist Billy Taylor (<I>On the Town</I>) to the Detroit Symphony Orchestra (<I>A Night in Tunisia, a Week in Detroit</I>). Their calling card and biggest asset, though, has been their ability to make the idea of an improvising, jazz-playing string quartet into a reality, and one that transcends mere novelty status.

<description><![CDATA[Moondog is the stage name for the brilliant Third Stream composer Louis Hardin. Hardin was a founder of a minimalist style that later blossomed into Avant-Garde and Post-Bop. He is well-respected by the classical and jazz worlds and won praise from both Leonard Bernstein and Charlie Parker. Moondog's work, like his moniker, often displays a sense of fun and wonder that is so often lacking in the artsy-fartsy world of Avant-Garde music.

<description><![CDATA[Russell could be an important figure in modern jazz for his theories alone -- one example is his ideas on modal music which influenced the late 1950s work of Miles Davis and John Coltrane. But he produced plenty of interesting and rewarding music of his own. His catalogue includes experiments with electronics, Fusion, ethnic influences, and extended forms, though his early '60s releases -- <I>Ezz-thetics</I>, <I>Stratusphunk</I>, and <I>Jazz in the Space Age</I> -- are considered his classics. These efforts feature challenging, cerebral, sometimes quirky originals and cover arrangements in large-group settings, with occasional solos by Eric Dolphy and Bill Evans. Based in Bop but pointing somewhere else, these recordings remain fresh and free of cliché nearly forty years later.

<description><![CDATA[Although his playing could command a free and piercing (yet musical) performance, Don Ellis' mark was made on the outstanding large ensembles he assembled in the 1970s. Multiple horns mixed with a large woodwind section and surreptitious strings over throbbing rhythms. Ellis' orchestra relied heavily on odd time signatures to drive their grooves, but their sound was always fresh and exciting, rather than forced. Ellis himself experimented with different sounds for his trumpet, inventing a four-valve instrument which could play quarter tones and using effects in a fashion similar to Miles Davis. He gained valuable experience and influence working with Charles Mingus, George Russell and Eric Dolphy; his music similarly managed to be innovative and unstructured at times, but never long enough to alienate a listener.
