Rosetta - Henry Red Allen ( 1906-1967)
Allen's trumpet style has been said by some critics to be the first to fully incorporate the innovations of Louis Armstrong and then go beyond Armstrong. Allen's recordings received much favorable attention. His versatility is shown by his winning of Down Beat awards in both the traditional jazz and the modern jazz categories. In 1959 Allen made his first tour of Europe when he joined Kid Ory's band.
Red Allen made a celebrated appearance on the legendary "Sound Of Jazz" television show on which he nearly stole the show; the program, filmed "live" in December 1957 is still considered the greatest jazz television program ever recorded. In this clip he performs in 1964 with the English band of Alex Welsh.

Here in 1968 we see Dizzy leading his big band and playing a magnificent trumpet solo. There are also solos by pianist Mike Longo and tenor saxophonist Paul Jeffrey.
Dizzy, his band and the arrangements certainly make this into a totally original and fresh sound.
"Dizzy" Gillespie (1917 -- 1993) He was an African-American, Bahá'í jazz trumpeter, bandleader, singer, and composer. Gillespie, with Charlie Parker, was a major figure in the development of bebop and modern jazz.
In addition to featuring in these epochal moments in jazz, he was instrumental in founding Afro-Cuban jazz, the modern jazz version of the "Spanish Tinge". Gillespie was a trumpet virtuoso and gifted improviser, building on the virtuoso style of Roy Eldridge but adding layers of harmonic complexity previously unknown in jazz. In addition to his instrumental skills, Dizzy's beret and horn-rimmed spectacles, his scat singing, his bent horn and pouched cheeks, and his light-hearted personality were essential in popularizing bebop, which was originally regarded as threatening and frightening music by many listeners raised on older styles of jazz. He had an enormous impact on virtually every subsequent trumpeter, both by the example of his playing and as a mentor to younger musicians.
He also used a trumpet whose bell was bent at a 45 degree angle rather than a traditional straight trumpet. This was originally the result of accidental damage, but the constriction caused by the bending altered the tone of the instrument, and Gillespie liked the effect.

Rhythm -n- ning - Thelonius Monk 1961
Rhythm-n-ning - Thelonius Monk 1961. Performing in a studio in the Netherlands in 1961 we witness Thelonius Monk (1917-1982), one of the leading bebop musicians of the jazzworld. Monk's manner was idiosyncratic. Visually, he was renowned for his distinctively "hip" sartorial style in suits, hats and sunglasses. He was also noted for the fact that at times, while the other musicians in the band continued playing, he would stop, stand up from the keyboard and dance for a few moments before returning to the piano. Youll notice his weird approach where he was able to play with stretched-out fingers. Monk had a unique improvisational style and made numerous contributions to the standard jazz repertoire, including "'Round Midnight," "Blue Monk," "Straight, No Chaser" and Rhythm-n-ning. In this clip he plays with his regular musicians Charlie Rouse tenor sax, John Ore bass andFrankie Dunlop drums.

Weaver of Dreams - Sonny Rollins 1959
29 year old Sonny Rollins with just bass and drums is playing "Weaver of Dreams" in the Netherlands in the Singer Theatre in the small town of Laren in 1959. A Dutch collector was able to make me some unique video clips.
Apparently the Netherlands appealed to many of the modern American jazz musicians in those days which resulted in a number seldom heard performances.
SonnyRollins (born September 7, 1930 in New York City) is an American jazz tenor saxophonist. He is recognized as one of the most important and influential jazz musicians of the post bebop area
He has had a long, productive career in jazz, beginning at the age of 11 and before reaching the age of 20 playing with piano legend Thelonious Monk. As it is now in 2009 Rollins is still touring and recording today, having outlived several of his jazz contemporaries such as John Coltrane, Miles Davis, and Art Blakey, all performers with whom he has recorded.
In 1957 he pioneered the use of just bass and drums as accompaniment for his saxophone solos, a texture that came to be known as "strolling"; Throughout his career, Rollins used the technique, even backing bass and drum solos with sax licks (and bass for the drummer or drums for the bass player).
