Coleman Randolph Hawkins ( November 21 , 1904 - May 19 , 1969 ) , nicknamed Hawk and sometimes Bean , was an American jazz tenor saxophonist . One of the first prominent jazz musicians on his instrument , as Joachim E. Berendt explained : there were some tenor players before him , but the instrument was not an acknowledged jazz horn . Hawkins biographer John Chilton described the prevalent styles of tenor saxophone solos prior to Hawkins as mooing and rubbery belches . Hawkins cited as influences Happy Caldwell , Stump Evans , and Prince Robinson , although he was the first to tailor his method of improvisation to the saxophone rather than imitate the techniques of the clarinet . Hawkins ' virtuosic , arpeggiated approach to improvisation , with his characteristic rich , emotional , loud , and vibrato-laden tonal style , was the main influence on a generation of tenor players that included Chu Berry , Charlie Barnet , Tex Beneke , Ben Webster , Vido Musso , Herschel Evans , Buddy Tate , and Don Byas , and through them the later tenormen , Arnett Cobb , Illinois Jacquet , Flip Phillips , Ike Quebec , Al Sears , Paul Gonsalves , and Lucky Thompson . While Hawkins became well known with swing music during the big band era , he had a role in the development of bebop in the 1940s . Fellow saxophonist Lester Young , known as Pres , commented in a 1959 interview with The Jazz Review : As far as I 'm concerned , I think Coleman Hawkins was the President first , right ? As far as myself , I think I 'm the second one . Miles Davis once said : When I heard Hawk , I learned to play ballads .
John Birks Dizzy Gillespie ( /ɡɪˈlɛspi/ ; October 21 , 1917 - January 6 , 1993 ) was an American jazz trumpeter , bandleader , composer , and singer . Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and improviser , building on the virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic and rhythmic complexity previously unheard in jazz . His combination of musicianship , showmanship , and wit made him a leading popularizer of the new music called bebop . His beret and horn-rimmed spectacles , his scat singing , his bent horn , pouched cheeks , and his light-hearted personality provided some of bebop 's most prominent symbols . In the 1940s Gillespie , with Charlie Parker , became a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz . He taught and influenced many other musicians , including trumpeters Miles Davis , Jon Faddis , Fats Navarro , Clifford Brown , Arturo Sandoval , Lee Morgan , Chuck Mangione , and balladeer Johnny Hartman . Scott Yanow wrote , Dizzy Gillespie 's contributions to jazz were huge . One of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time , Gillespie was such a complex player that his contemporaries ended up being similar to those of Miles Davis and Fats Navarro instead , and it was not until Jon Faddis 's emergence in the 1970s that Dizzy 's style was successfully recreated [ . ] Arguably Gillespie is remembered , by both critics and fans alike , as one of the greatest jazz trumpeters of all time .
Tadley Ewing Peake Dameron ( February 21 , 1917 - March 8 , 1965 ) was an American jazz composer , arranger , and pianist . Saxophonist Dexter Gordon called him the romanticist of the bop movement , while reviewer Scott Yanow wrote that Dameron was the definitive arranger/composer of the bop era .
Theodore Fats Navarro ( September 24 , 1923 - July 7 , 1950 ) was an American jazz trumpet player . He was a pioneer of the bebop style of jazz improvisation in the 1940s . He had a strong stylistic influence on many other players , including Clifford Brown .
Blue Note Records is an American jazz record label owned by Universal Music Group and operated under Capitol Music Group . Established in 1939 by Alfred Lion and Max Margulis , it derived its name from the blue notes of jazz and the blues . Originally dedicated to recording traditional jazz and small group swing , the label switched its attention to modern jazz around 1947 .
Wardell Gray ( February 13 , 1921 - May 25 , 1955 ) was an American jazz tenor saxophonist who straddled the swing and bebop periods .
Stan Getz ( born Stanley Gayetski ; February 2 , 1927 - June 6 , 1991 ) was an American jazz saxophonist . Playing primarily the tenor saxophone , Getz was known as The Sound because of his warm , lyrical tone , his prime influence being the wispy , mellow timbre of his idol , Lester Young . Coming to prominence in the late 1940s with Woody Herman 's big band , Getz is described by critic Scott Yanow as one of the all-time great tenor saxophonists . Getz performed in bebop and cool jazz groups . Influenced by João Gilberto and Antônio Carlos Jobim , he popularized bossa nova in America with the hit single The Girl from Ipanema ( 1964 ) .
The Brothers is a studio compilation album by American saxophonists Stan Getz and Zoot Sims released in 1956 via Prestige label .
Gerald Joseph Mulligan ( April 6 , 1927 - January 20 , 1996 ) was an American jazz saxophonist , clarinetist , composer and arranger . Though Mulligan is primarily known as one of the leading jazz baritone saxophonists - playing the instrument with a light and airy tone in the era of cool jazz - he was also a significant arranger , working with Claude Thornhill , Miles Davis , Stan Kenton , and others . Mulligan 's pianoless quartet of the early 1950s with trumpeter Chet Baker is still regarded as one of the best cool jazz groups . Mulligan was also a skilled pianist and played several other reed instruments . Several of his compositions , such as Walkin ' Shoes and Five Brothers , have become jazz standards .
Historically Speaking is a reissue of an August 27 , 1951 recording by baritone saxophonist Gerry Mulligan that was released as Prestige 7251 . The album was originally reissued on 12 inch Lp as Mulligan Plays Mulligan on Prestige Lp 7006 after originally being released on 10 inch Lps in 1951
Prestige Records is a jazz record company and label founded in 1949 by Bob Weinstock in New York City . The company recorded hundreds of albums by many of the leading jazz musicians of the day , sometimes issuing them under subsidiaries . In 1971 , the company was sold to Fantasy , which was later absorbed by Concord .
George Handy ( born George Joseph Hendleman ) ( January 17 , 1920 - January 8 , 1997 ) was a jazz arranger , composer and pianist whose musical beginnings were fostered under the tutelage of composer Aaron Copland . While he had an impressive career as a pianist , he is best known in retrospect for his bebop arrangements .
Vinnie Burke ( born Vincenzo Bucci ) ( March 15 , 1921 - February 1 , 2001 ) was an American jazz bassist born in Newark , New Jersey . Burke played violin and guitar early in life , but he lost the use of his little finger in a munitions factory accident and switched to double bass . In the second half of the 1940s he played with Joe Mooney , Tony Scott , and Cy Coleman . Later , he played with the Sauter-Finegan Orchestra , Tal Farlow , Marian McPartland , Don Elliott , Vic Dickenson , Gil Mellé , Bucky Pizzarelli , John Mehegan , Chris Connor , Eddie Costa , and Bobby Hackett . He led his own band in 1956 and led small combos into the 1980s .
Tony Fruscella ( February 4 , 1927 - August 14 , 1969 ) was an American jazz trumpeter .
Atlantic Recording Corporation ( simply known as Atlantic Records ) is an American record label founded in October 1947 by Ahmet Ertegün and Herb Abramson . Over its first 20 years of operation , Atlantic earned a reputation as one of the most important American labels , specializing in jazz , R & B , and soul by Aretha Franklin , Ray Charles , Wilson Pickett , Sam and Dave , Ruth Brown and Otis Redding . Its position was greatly improved by its distribution deal with Stax . In 1967 , Atlantic became a wholly owned subsidiary of Warner Bros.-Seven Arts , now the Warner Music Group , and expanded into rock and pop music with releases by Led Zeppelin and Yes . In 2004 , Atlantic and its sister label Elektra were merged into Atlantic Records Group . Craig Kallman is the chairman of Atlantic . Ahmet Ertegün served as founding chairman until his death on December 14 , 2006 , at age 83 .
The Gerry Mulligan Songbook ( subtitled Volume 1 ) is an album by American jazz saxophonist Gerry Mulligan featuring performances recorded in late 1957 and released on the World Pacific label .
Lee Konitz ( born October 13 , 1927 ) is an American composer and alto saxophonist . He has performed successfully in a wide range of jazz styles , including bebop , cool jazz , and avant-garde jazz . Konitz 's association with the cool jazz movement of the 1940s and 1950s includes participation in Miles Davis 's Birth of the Cool sessions and his work with pianist Lennie Tristano . He was notable during this era as one of relatively few alto saxophonists to retain a distinctive style when Charlie Parker exerted a massive influence . Like other students of Tristano , Konitz was noted for improvising long , melodic lines with the rhythmic interest coming from odd accents , or odd note groupings suggestive of the imposition of one time signature over another . Other saxophonists were strongly influenced by Konitz , notably Paul Desmond and Art Pepper .
Mosaic Records is an American jazz record company and label established in 1982 by Michael Cuscuna and Charlie Lourie . It produces limited-edition box sets that are available only by mail . The sets are leased from the major record companies , usually for a three- or five-year period , with the edition limited to a specific number of copies typically 5,000 . Sometimes the complete catalog of a label would appear : the complete masters of Milt Gabler 's Commodore Records were contained in three sets consisting of some 66 LPs . In 2003 , the company initiated the Select series of smaller sets , not necessarily complete in the usual sense . In 2006 , the company began a third line , Mosaic Singles , a series dedicated to reissuing individual albums on CD that have not previously been available in US editions , or at all . In 2009 , Mosaic returned to the vinyl format with the HQ Vinyl Series and began issuing three and four LP sets of 2,500-5,000 copies . Mosaic 's sets are primarily sold and distributed directly to customers , initially promoted through leading jazz publications , then mail order catalog , and now the internet . The first three years of releases did not sell particularly well . In 1986 , Cuscuna reached out to a record-producing acquaintance , Fred Seibert , for help . With partner Alan Goodman their company , Fred/Alan Inc. in New York , devised a catalog and strategy that immediately increased sales almost tenfold and put the company on a solid footing for the first time . Mr. Goodman continues to write the copy for all new release sales .
