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.63608&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss Cool/West Coast Jazz Tue, 24 Nov 2009 09:38:11 -0800 Top Cool Artists on Rhapsody Online art.63608 art.63608 Dave Brubeck art.63608 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63608&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.63608&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss Time before Armstrong or Ellington didn't help, but Brubeck's career is clearly long overdue for a re-evaluation.

Kessel was a strong improvisor blessed with a deep sense of Swing, yet he still consumed the idioms of Bop and Cool whole. He could jam endlessly or build upon slow ballads, letting his notes drift in the air. Kessel dominated the jazz polls throughout the ‘50s and early ‘60s, and was a major figure in the West Coast jazz scene of the era. A studio mainstay, he played with practically every big name on the map: Oscar Peterson, Billie Holiday, Lester Young, and Frank Sinatra, to name a few.

That Miles Davis album was a popular bust but was hugely influential and Evans went on to record three stunning albums with Davis in the late '50s and he started recording his own big band throughout this period. His solo albums and collaborations with Kenny Burrell and Astrud Gilberto in the '60s are equally impressive and carry his unmistakable sound. Evans got into electronics and continued experimenting in the '70s, but most of this later work lacks focus (excluding his surprisingly good tribute to Jimi Hendrix in '74). - Nick Dedina]]> http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45554&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss Post Bop Thu, 21 May 2009 12:58:58 -0700 Top Cool Artists on Rhapsody Online art.45554 art.45554 Gene Bertoncini art.45554 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45554&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.45554&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44169&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss Classic Swing Fri, 13 Nov 2009 12:39:19 -0800 Top Cool Artists on Rhapsody Online art.44169 art.44169 Claude Thornhill art.44169 http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44169&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss http://mp3.rhapsody.com/goto?rcid=art.44169&variant=data&rws=%2Fjazz%2Fcool-west-coast-jazz%2Fcool%2Fartist-chart.rss Birth if the Cool sessions.
