Rec. 1975 Jarrett burst onto the international jazz scene as part of the ground-breaking Charles Lloyd Quartet of the latter 1960s, moved on to running his own trio, briefly joined in with the Miles Davis electronic voodoo soups of the early 1970s, then retreated to acoustic music and a re-examination of what he was attempting to achie...
John McLaughlin (g), Jerry Goodman (vln), Jan Hammer (key), Rick Laird (b) and Billy Cobham (d). Rec. 1972 Formed in 1971, the original Mahavishnu Orchestra remains guitarist John McLaughlin’s greatest achievement. It lit up the night sky for almost two years, everything was played at 500mph with the Marshall stacks turned up to eleven. It left aud...
Betty Carter (v), John Hicks (p), Curtis Lundy (b) and Kenny Washington (d). Rec. 1979 Listening to this album is a cathartic experience. ‘Sounds’ is a tour de force of scat through shifting tempos and meters that lasts 25 minutes where at one point, Carter, Hicks, Lundy and Washington each play in a different meter. The album highlight is ‘My Favo...

- Archie Shepp, ‘Attica Blues’ Shepp, a tenor saxophonist and sometimes a collaborator of John Coltrane, turned his talents to protesting the death of over 40 prisoners and guards during a 1971 uprising at Attica State Prison — the title track on this album was a collaboration between over 30 people, including a reading of the lyrics by lawyer William Kunstler, and was described as "a tribalistic frenzy of near hysteria that is one of the most amazing sounds ever achieved on record."
- Toshiko Akiyoshi-Lew Tabackin Big Band, ‘Insights’ Toshiko Akiyoshi, a Japanese-American pianist born in Manchuria, formed this West Coast big band with her husband Lew Tabackin (of the Tonight Show band with Doc Severinsen): she composed the music, while Tabackin was the featured soloist.
- Flora Purim, ‘Butterfly Dreams’ This Brazilian chanteuse with a six-octave range and a penchant for making unusual sound effects collaborated with Stan Getz and Chick Corea and attracted high-profile fans such as Stevie Wonder.
- Huey Simmons, ‘Burning Spirits’ Huey Simmons (a.k.a.

- Charlie Parker – All The Things You Are. One of bebop’s prime architects, Kansas City-born Charlie Parker was famed for his lightning-fast alto saxophone solos but showed a more restrained side on this Jerome Kern-Oscar Hammerstein tune he performed with Dizzy Gillespie in 1945.
The advancements in the 70’s were all begun by musicians who played in the bands of Miles Davis . The music found different pathways to what was heard on In A Silent Way and Bitches Brew.
