Elvin Jones/Art Blakey
07/02/2007 : Drumsolo Jones Elvin/Art Blakey 1968 Elvin Jones and Art Blakey, two of the most prominent drummers in the bebop idiom are doing a drum solo during a performance as part of the Newport Jazz Festival's touring group in Rotterdam in 1968 Elvin Ray Jones (1927 -- 2004) was a jazz drummer. Two of Jones' brothers were also jazz musicians: Hank (piano), and Thad (trumpet/flugelhorn). Elvin began playing professionally in the 1940s, and eventually he went on to play with artists such as Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, and Wardell Gray. In 1955 he found work in New York, joining Charles Mingus's band, In 1960, he joined with the classic John Coltrane Quartet, which also included bassist Jimmy Garrison and pianist McCoy Tyner. Jones and Coltrane often played extended duet passages, both giving and taking energy through their instruments. This band is widely considered to have redefined "swing" (the rhythmic feel of jazz) in much the same way that Louis Armstrong, Charlie Parker et al did during earlier stages of jazz's development. After leaving the Coltrane group in 1966, Jones played with Duke Ellington, and eventually formed his own touring group. Jazz Machine, normally a quintet, continued in the same musical direction. His sense of timing, polyrhythms, dynamics, timbre, and legato phrasing - as well as the sheer mass of sound he produced - brought the drumset to the fore. Jones was touted by Life Magazine as "the world's greatest rhythmic drummer", and his free-flowing style was a major influence on many leading rock drummers, including Mitch Mitchell (whom Jimi Hendrix called "my Elvin Jones") and Ginger Baker.

Mc Coy Tyner - African Village
04/12/2006 : Fils d'une pianiste, McCoy Tyner étudie successivement à la "West Philadelphia Music School" et la "Granoff School of Music". Voisin des pianistes Richie et Bud Powell, il peut profiter de leurs conseils sur la manière d'aborder le "piano jazz". En 1959, il est le pianiste du "Jazztet" co-dirigé par Benny Golson et Art Farmer. De 1960 à 1965, il joue dans la formation de John Coltrane. Avec Coltrane, il enregistre de nombreux albums (en quartet, en quintet, avec un big band arrangé par Eric Dolphy,...) pour les labels "Atlantic" puis "Impulse". Le quartet composé de John Coltrane au saxophone, Tyner au piano, Jimmy Garrison à la contrebasse et Elvin Jones à la batterie est l'un des plus célèbre de l'histoire du jazz. Ce groupe reste encore aujourd'hui la figure la plus emblématique du jazz modal. A la même période, il enregistre comme sideman dans des disques hard bop pour le label "Blue Note", accompagnant, entres autres, Freddie Hubbard, Lee Morgan, Stanley Turrentine, Grant Green, Hank Mobley, Donald Byrd, Joe Henderson et Wayne Shorter. A partir de 1966, Tyner, enregistre essentiellement sous son nom. De 1966 à 1971, même s'il continuer à enregistrer pour "Blue Note", il connait une période difficile. Il joue dans des orchestre de rhythm and blues et est un temps accompagnateur d'Ike et Tina Turner. A partir de 1972, il signe avec le label "Milestone", pour lequel il enregistre abondamment avec ses propres formations. Ces disques, en particulier "Sahara" (1973), relance la carrière du pianiste. On peut citer, comme musiciens ayant participé aux groupes du pianiste dans les années 70, les saxophonistes Sonny Fortune, Azar Lawrence, Gary Bartz, le violoniste John Blake et le batteur Alphonse Mouzon. Sa musique alors mèle les esthétiques du jazz modal, du hard bop, du jazz fusion et du free jazz. En 1978, il fait une tournée remarquée avec le "Milestone jazzstars" (Sonny Rollins au saxophone ténor, Ron Carter à la contrebasse et Al Foster à la batterie). Depuis, McCoy Tyner continue une carrière prolifique enregistrant pour Columbia, Blue Note, Elektra et d'autres labels. Le contrebassiste Charnett Moffett fait partie d?une vraie tradition de musiciens de jazz, d?abord avec son père Charles (batteur, qui a nommé son fils Charnett en contraction de « Charles » et « Ornette » pour Ornette Coleman, grand ami de Charles?), ensuite avec sa propre famille, largement présente sur cet album? On a dit de lui qu?il était l?héritier de Ray Brown. Plus exactement, son background jazzistique et son ouverture musicale extrême (il écoute de tout de son propre aveu, y compris les musiques extrême-orientales qui l?ont profondément marquées)
