<description><![CDATA["The Reverend Satchelmouth is the beginning and the end of music in America." So said Bing Crosby and how right he was because Armstrong is the single most important figure in twentieth century popular music. If there's an artist who wasn't directly influenced by his astounding improvisations, and most importantly, his phrasing, then he was influenced by those who were. Armstrong did more with time, nuance, and personality than whole armies of musicians. But forget about influencing others -- if his music doesn't fill you with tingles of joy and delight then you just may be dead. And don't fret if you are six feet under; Pops will be serenading you in heaven. For how can there be a heaven without Louis?

<description><![CDATA[Without Coleman Hawkins, the saxophone may never have made it out of the marching band. While playing with Fletcher Henderson's outfit in the 1920s, Hawk did more than put the saxophone on the map; it just didn't sound like it does now until Hawkins came along. When a young trumpeter/cornet player named Louis Armstrong joined Henderson in 1924, Hawkins immediately took notice; by the following year, Hawkins' sax playing had been completely transformed. Like a cliched wine description, his style was fluid, smooth and mellow, yet very robust and masculine -- indeed, it swung into next week. He inspired a legion of very different players, such as Johnny Hodges, Charlie Parker, Lester Young, and Sonny Rollins. Hawkins' 1939 recording of "Body and Soul" remains renown today and is the subject of a Manhattan Transfer song that incorporates his astounding solo into their lyrics.

<description><![CDATA[Sidney Bechet, whose solos are believed to be the first jazz solos recorded, is widely considered to be the most important figure in the evolution of the jazz solo, along with Louis Armstrong. A musical genius, he blew away audiences and musicians alike during the 1920s. Though he fronted strong ensembles, Bechet was almost always the main show; he could spin solo lines that stayed at a stunningly creative level. Yet while Armstrong flourished in the '30s and '40s, Bechet struggled to find an audience, even though his musical powers were still working at a fever pitch. Thankfully, Bechet's career regained momentum and he became one of Europe's biggest musical stars during the 1950s. His style was so perfect that he didn't need to adopt any of Bop's vocabulary -- nobody ever sounded like him. While his name doesn't trip off most Americans' tongues the way Armstrong's does, Bechet remains a beloved icon to the French public, where he was treated like a king until his death in 1959. Every musical library should contain at least one Sidney Bechet album.

<description><![CDATA[New Orleans native and trumpet virtuoso Al Hirt wowed modern audiences with Dixieland music, becoming a popular Pop-Jazz recording artist on the level of Herb Alpert. Highly respected by his jazz peers, Hirt was one of the few post-'50s crossover stars to hold onto sound that brimmed over with notes, rather than streamlining it into a simpler style. Such Hirt hits as "Java" and "Fancy Pants" are still played on AM easy listening stations, and the album <i>Beauty and the Beard</i>, a collaboration with Ann-Margret, is a sought-after collector's item for the Cocktail music set.

<description><![CDATA[A proud native of New Orleans, clarinetist Pete Fountain is among the most successful of the Dixieland revival musicians. But Fountain does more than just keep the music he loves alive; he possesses a beautiful tone and plays with real honesty, making him a much deeper player than his easy listening reputation implies. While his Dixieland sound recalls that of Benny Goodman and Sidney Bechet, Fountain beat the odds by having his biggest period of success in the 1960s, when his albums regularly landed high on the jazz and pop charts. And even though he began catering more to popular tastes during the 1970s, his playing retained most of its original zing, and he remains a big concert and festival draw today. Audiences know that in live settings, Fountain still breathes Dixieland fire into his licorice stick.

<description><![CDATA[Clarinetist George Lewis, not to be confused with the avant-garde trombone player by the same name, stuck to the bubbly, bouncy collective improvisations of Dixieland his entire career, while his peers moved on to Swing and then to Bop. Lewis's clarinet dipped and soared over the ensemble, embellishing every melody with sustained high notes and darting arpeggios. His repertoire consisted largely of standard New Orleans tunes such as "Basin St. Blues" and "Bugle Call Rag." Lewis enjoyed considerable fame during the New Orleans revival of the 1950s, touring the United States, Europe, and Japan.

<description><![CDATA[Ah, Jack Teagarden. He had it all. Teagarden was jazz's first great trombonist, and he changed the way the slide was used. He sang with an endearing Texas drawl, had Satchmo's phrasing and charm, and the blues billowing out of his every pore. Teagarden hit NYC big in 1928. He recorded with Bessie Smith, Red Nichols, Bix Beiderbecke, Fats Waller, and even Louis Armstrong himself. Then he signed an exclusive contract with Paul Whiteman -- a square who hired hip musicians -- in 1933 but was hardly ever featured. In 1939, Teagarden was able to free himself from his contract and start his own band. Competition was fierce during the Swing era and coupled with World War II, his band went bust in 1946. Bing Crosby paid off Teagarden's debts and Teagarden joined Louis Armstrong's group until 1951. After that, he led his own small group to much acclaim until his death from a heart attack in 1963. Teagarden made having the blues feel like a joyous privilege.

<description><![CDATA[The easiest way to discover how Traditional Jazz turned into Swing is to listen to the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. Acres of monumental musicians played with Henderson's band -- Louis Armstrong, Ben Webster, Roy Eldridge -- and together they helped change popular music. Henderson's real strength lay in his arrangements (and those of equals such as Benny Carter), which balanced a propulsive rhythmic foundation with complex flourishes and plenty of room for the band to move around in. Henderson had the hottest act on the scene until Duke Ellington appeared in the late 1920s, but Henderson could never keep a group together like the Duke, and he rarely crossed over to white America until he joined Benny Goodman as an arranger in the mid-1930s. After Henderson's stroke in 1950, Goodman repaid his debt to his often overlooked contributor by raising money for his care during the last five years of his life. If you ever need a jolt of pure joy, listen to Henderson's recordings from the '30s, when his band distilled happiness into music.

<description><![CDATA[Eddie Condon was one of the shining lights of Traditional Jazz. His rhythmic guitar strumming was always tasty, but his real talent lay in getting the hottest musicians together. Condon's joyous jam sessions featured everyone from Louis Armstrong to Red Nichols to Willie "The Lion" Smith. Even if you've lost the farm and your dog just died, his music will make you feel good.

<description><![CDATA[Cornetist Ruby Braff's music shows how rich jazz was before the Bebop revolution. Braff may be a retro stylist but the wonderful small-group music he creates is timeless rather than nostalgic. He excels at Dixieland rave-ups, dreamy Traditional Jazz ballads, and mid-tempo Swing numbers. He made a couple of swell records with Tony Bennett in the 1970s and his sides with guitarist Howard Alden are pure heaven.

<description><![CDATA[Ground zero for jazz violin, Joe Venuti's late 1920s partnership with guitarist Eddie Lang obviously inspired the European coupling of Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. Venuti's recordings from this period are so joyous that you'll forget all about influences and immediately sink into his work.
Just as good are Venuti's mainstream recordings from the '70s, and his album with Cool saxophonist extraordinaire Zoot Sims. Proves once again that the distinctions between jazz genres are often meaningless.

<description><![CDATA[Hines was a key figure in the transition from Swing to Bebop -- his offbeat left-hand jabs brought heavy syncopation to his work in Louis Armstrong's Hot Five, and his octave melodies influenced scores of musicians that followed. An important part of Hines' innovation was his acceptance of fresh perceptions in his band -- while others may have felt they were too modern, Hines welcomed Charlie Parker's and Dizzy Gillespie's new ideas. In addition, fresh-sounding Sarah Vaughan and Billy Eckstine were both featured vocalists in his group at various points. From Big Band to Dixieland ensembles, Hines always played with an effervescent joy, infecting his bands and his piano playing with his unique rhythmic intensity and stylistic individuality.

<description><![CDATA[Sweets Edison earned his moniker from Lester Young when they
played together in Count Basie's band. A mainstay of the Swing
generation, Edison's economical, perfectly phrased trumpet sound fit in with Bop and West Coast Cool (where Edison became a studio powerhouse after being
handpicked by Frank Sinatra as his main soloist in the early 50s).
Sweets recorded a sterling set of albums on his own, but is best
known for his work with Sinatra, Charlie Parker, Nat Cole, Ben Webster, Quincy
Jones, Ella Fitzgerald and just about every other big name in
mainstream jazz. A great raconteur, Sweets has brightened up countless jazz documentaries and oral histories.

<description><![CDATA[With a name like Muggsy, Spanier could have had a side career as a movie gangster if there were Blacksploitation films back in the 1930s. Luckily, his sweet cornet sound -- just to the right of Louis Armstrong -- sailed through the Swing era and continued to thrive in the Traditional Jazz revival scene of the '50s and '60s.

<description><![CDATA[Bix Beiderbecke was one the brightest innovators of the early jazz scene. He was a brilliant improviser on the level of Louis Armstrong, but his cornet had a completely different, almost wistful tone -- one of the reasons he is sometimes thought of as a Cool Jazz missing link. He came to fame through his association with the square -- by today's standards -- Paul Whiteman Orchestra, then had more opportunity to sparkle with Frankie Trumbauer and the Chicago Loopers. He became one of the first counter-cultural musical stars by drinking himself to death at an early age. Kirk Douglas played a sanitized variation of Bix in the melodrama <i>Young Man With a Horn</i>.

<description><![CDATA[One of the finest mainstream jazz trumpeters, Buck Clayton was not known as a particularly innovative player, but rather one who played with exuberance and displayed a sharp sound. In fact, it is said that the term mainstream was coined in the early 50s to describe Buck Clayton's blend of Dixieland and Bop. Clayton debuted in California in the early 30s at age 21, shortly before taking his own band on a tour of China; he would join Count Basie's band a few years later. Clayton is most revered for his mid-'50s jam sessions recorded in the company of Coleman Hawkins, Zoot Sims and Johnny Carson's own Tommy Newsom.

<description><![CDATA[Springing out of the Dixieland revival of the early &#8216;50s and incorporating three banjos, drums and rainbow suspenders into their act, the Banjo Kings plucked their way through such standard fare as &#8220;The Man On The Flying Trapeze&#8221; and &#8220;Jeannie With The Light Brown Hair.&#8221; If you happen to be Woody Allen, R. Crumb, or a cartoon character, give a close listen.

<description><![CDATA[Kid Ory was one of the first innovators of jazz and the definitive New Orleans trombonist of the 1920s. His improvisations gave rise to the classic Dixieland style of trombone playing known as "tailgate," which consists of rhythmic, contrapuntal basslines behind the clarinet and trumpet. A master bandleader, Ory's classic ensembles were the training ground for the great trumpeters King Oliver and Louis Armstrong, as well as the clarinetists Sidney Bechet and Jimmie Noone. His band could sound sweet and tender, raucous and bawdy, or fast and furious; a generous leader, Ory gave his soloists many opportunities to explore and develop. After a decade out of music during the Depression, Ory made a comeback in the 1940s during the New Orleans revival, and continued to play Dixieland until his death in 1973.

<description><![CDATA[Relaxed jam session recordings from a lineup including Pee Wee Russell, Jo Jones, Buck Clayton and Bud Freeman. Repertoire is standard Traditional Jazz, but the performances reflect the musicians' Swing backgrounds and mostly feature individual solos in lieu of collective improvisation.

<description><![CDATA[In the late 1920s, Lang played guitar in a way that would influence every major artist after him, from Django Reinhardt and Charlie Christian to Wes Montgomery. His bright, percussive single note runs validated the guitar as a solo instrument, while his complex chordal work broadened the scope of the instrument's role in accompaniment. His duets with violinist Joe Venuti were later mirrored beautifully by Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli, and his vibrant work with pioneers like Bix Beiderbecke, Frankie Trumbauer and Red Nichols remain a part of the beautiful foundation of jazz. The recordings that Lang -- under the pseudonym Blind Willie Dunn -- made with fellow guitarist Lonnie Johnson are essential guitar classics, highlighting the subtle relationship between early jazz and blues.

<description><![CDATA[Don Les laid out the walking basslines, Al Fiore played the chords, and Jerry Murad provided the stunning leads. What set them apart from other ensembles? They all played harmonica, performing classic standards and sentimental originals in a traditional jazz style. How it's possible to breathe as fast or as much as they did is still unknown -- not to mention through those tiny little holes (Bob Dylan it ain't, though they did cover some of his tunes in their waning years). Their number one hit "Peg O' My Heart" rocked the charts in 1947 and became their signature song through their various incarnations. Sadly, virtuosic leader Murad passed away in 1996.

<description><![CDATA[Trumpeter Lu Watters led the Yerba Buena Jazz Band, one of the instrumental groups in the Dixieland revival of the 1940s. Though closely modeled to resemble the joyful, ensemble-oriented sounds of late 1910s and early 1920s New Orleans Jazz a la King Oliver's Creole Jazz Band, Watters and company played with a conviction and focus that has led their music to hold up nearly as well as the original article.
