Thad Jones - The Magnificent Thad Jones
Jones' Blue Note follow-up after Detroit - New York Junction ( https://mas.to/@dnanian/110804823059419518 ), this release part of the Classic Vinyl Series.
This is an even better set than the last one, with great playing by Jones, Percy Heath (bass), Max Roach (drums), Barry Harris (piano), and Billy Mitchell (sax).
Continued thread
After watching the #PBS #AmericanMasters program on the life of the virtuoso pianist #HazelScott, I was reminded that I have her album "Relaxed Piano Moods" in my LP collection.
What's really interesting about this album apart from it's delightful sound is that while Scott is the lead player, her "backup" players for #MaxRoach & #CharlesMingus who (at the time (1955) were just emerging as two of the greatest #ModernJazz (#PostBop) musicians of the era who have since become legends of jazz.
Roach had only started playing with #Brownie (#CliffordBrown) in 1954 (who tragically died in a car accident just 2 years later) and it was only a year later in 1956 that #Mingus released his epic album "Pithecanthropus Erectus."
It is also notable the #DebutRecords which was the label that released this recording was founded by Roach & Mingus in 1952 (& went out of business in 1957) and that they thought so highly of Scott that they presumably volunteered to serve as her sidemen on the album!
Clifford Brown & Max Roach - Brown & Roach Incorporated (TRIP reissue, first released 1954 on EmArcy)
Two giants w/ Harold Land, Richie Powell, & George Morrow. Brownie was a brilliant trumpeter whose star shone for a tragically brief time on earth. The only known video of him playing: https://youtu.be/9iuP3CfFZDQ?si=pDe4UV-ML4u00ft-

The catalogue differences between #AppleMusic and #Spotify are interesting and sometimes large.
It feels like Spotify is more complete.
For example Apple Music has a smaller number of #MedeskiMartinAndWood albums.
Pick another #jazz artist, say #MaxRoach same thing.
Say what you will about Wynton Marsalis, but the Jazz At Lincoln Center Orchestra's tribute to Max Roach was wonderfully played and deeply moving. Rising drum star Obed Calvaire led the band through about a dozen of Max's songs and performed two of his solo drumset compositions. Singer Shenel Johns channeled Abbey Lincoln, and Joe Farnsworth sat in on drums to close the first set and nearly brought the house down with a ten minute solo full of Max-isms.

PostGenre - Music beyond category · Harmony on Your Side: A Conversation with George Coleman (Part One) - PostGenreUnfortunately, sometimes life gets in the way of interviews making it to print. This interview with the legendary George Coleman, which took place on May 19, 2023, is one such conversation. At the time, the NEA Jazz Master was promoting his latest live recording, Live at Small's Jazz Club (Cellar Live, 2023), an electrifying quartet recording with

Free improvisations by Anthony Braxton (alto, soprano & sopranino saxophones, clarinet) & Max Roach (drums).
Very creative and stimulating music.
Watching this set from #jazz #drummer Kassa Overall & Sullivan Fortner and thinking about how healthy the current jazz scene is due to the leadership of great drummers.
Like #MaxRoach and #ArtBlakey in the past, leaders like #MakayaMcCraven

#TomSkinner and
