Due to drug addiction, a fallow period ensued in the early '50s, but Davis returned to the fore with renewed vigor and a new quintet in 1954. The Miles Davis Quintet, including John Coltrane on tenor sax, set new standards for what jazz could represent, achieving a popularity previously thought unattainable in the eclectic realm of jazz. Further milestones lay ahead for Davis -- his groundbreaking orchestral work with his musical soul mate Gil Evans, the recording of the most popular jazz album ever (Kind of Blue), further endeavors with another pivotal quintet in the '60s and finally, the fathering of the Free Improvisation and Funk-tinged riffs and grooves of the Fusion age with Bitches Brew. Through it all, Davis was the consummate professional and master innovator, never pausing to look back while constantly building upon his notoriously irrepressible momentum. - Noah Enelow]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5912&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Fri, 4 Dec 2009 13:20:09 -0800 Top Hard Bop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.5912 art.5912 John Coltrane art.5912 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5912&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.5912&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Giant Steps. 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.6084&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Jazz Piano Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:53:34 -0800 Top Hard Bop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.6084 art.6084 Herbie Hancock art.6084 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6084&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.6084&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Maiden Voyage without seeming to break a sweat).

Adderley's playing with the Davis quintet is pure, effortless, breezy Bebop -- a sweeter and lighter Charlie Parker. He conveys feelings of breathlessness, joy and wonder, all tinged with teasing flirtation. The Davis quintet also shows him stretching his lightning chops to their limit. By contrast, with his own group he delves deep into Blues and church music, giving birth to the style called Soul Jazz. In 1966, Adderley recorded his first and only pop hit, "Mercy, Mercy, Mercy," which brought together jazz with R&B and gained a wider audience for his music. - Noah Enelow]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61444&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Bop Thu, 3 Dec 2009 22:54:01 -0800 Top Hard Bop Artists on Rhapsody Online art.61444 art.61444 Dexter Gordon art.61444 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61444&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.61444&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fbop%2Fhard-bop%2Fartist-chart.rss Round Midnight.
