Frink, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2016 Ornette Coleman (1930-2015) is frequently referred to as not only a great visionary in jazz music but as also the father of the jazz avant-garde movement. As such, his work has been a topic of discussion for nearly five decades among jazz theorists, musicians, scholars and aficionados. While this music was once controversial and divisive, it eventually found a wealth of supporters within the artistic community and has been incorporated into the jazz narrative and canon. Coleman’s musical practices found their greatest acceptance among the following generations of improvisers who embraced the message of “free jazz” as a natural evolution in style.

  • Modern Jazz Quartet
    THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART No 95 II WEST 53 STREET. NEW YORK 19. N. Y. For Release TILEPHONI: CltCLI S4900 After Friday, August 5> I960 MODERN JAZZ QUARTET TO GIVE CONCERT AT MUSEUM jazz in the Garden continues at the Museum of Modern Art with The Modern Jazz Quartet, Thursday, August 11, at 8:30 p.m. The ensemble of virtuoso soloists consists of John Lewis, piano, Percy Heath, bass, Milt Jackson, vibraharp, and Connie Kay, drums, This is the ninth in a series of ten Thursday evening promen­ ade concerts co-sponsored and produced by Metronome magazine. Known as the most highly developed and integrated of the small contemporary groups, The Modem Jazz Quartet was formed in 1951 by four veterans of the Dizzy Gillespie band. Traditional jazz concepts structured on the fugue and classical forms, polished instrumentation, and freedom for individual innovation within the discipline of the group, leads to what John Leewis calls " a collective impro­ visation which swings." The Quartet has given concerts at Town Hall and Carnegie Hall, at many American universities, at the Newport, French Lick and Monterey festivals. It has joined the Symphony of the Air, the Cleveland Symphony and the Buffalo Philharmonic in concert performances. During the past four years it toured Austria, Belgium, France, Germany and Italy, opening in England at Royal Festival Hall. Not restricted to the concert stage, the Quartet has played night club dates in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and Paris. Much of its repertoire, available on Atlantic Recor-ds, consists of works composed either by John Lewis or Milt Jackson.

  • Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery”— Wes Montgomery (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Maristella Feustle (Guest Post)*
    “The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery”— Wes Montgomery (1960) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Maristella Feustle (guest post)* Album cover Original label Wes Montgomery “The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery” was the breakthrough recording that brought Wes Montgomery (1923-1968) to the attention of a wider audience and kept him there. Critically acclaimed in the year of its release, with a five-star review by Ira Gitler in “DownBeat” magazine, the album has remained a landmark recording in the history of jazz guitar, and one of timeless artistry. It is noteworthy for its creativity, its impact in securing Montgomery’s place among legendary jazz guitarists, and for its enduring inspiration to musicians and listeners. Recorded January 28 and 30, 1960 in New York City, at the storied Reeves Sound Studios, the album was one of many Riverside titles which featured Montgomery as a leader or a sideman between 1959 and 1963, and part of several Riverside sessions that included Montgomery that were made during that week. Those sessions resulted in Nat Adderley’s “Work Song” and “The Incredible Jazz Guitar of Wes Montgomery,” both of which were produced by Orrin Keepnews. Only months earlier, Nat’s brother, Julian “Cannonball” Adderley had brought Montgomery to Keepnews’ attention after hearing him in Montgomery’s hometown of Indianapolis. While Montgomery’s debut album for Riverside and Keepnews, “The Wes Montgomery Trio” heralded “a dynamic new sound,” it was “The Incredible Jazz Guitar” with which that new sound became a permanent fixture of jazz guitar. The album itself is a study in versatility, as Montgomery excels equally on up-tempo tunes, blues, ballads, jazz waltz, and medium swing, with the support of Tommy Flanagan on piano, Percy Heath on bass, and Albert Heath on drums.
