by Jose Reyes
These Podcasts concentrate on Jazz from the mid 40's to the Late 60's. Straight Big Band, Be Bop, Afro-Cuban Jazz, Cuban Music,Hard Bop, Cool Jazz, Free Jazz, Avant Garde, Bossa Nova and a maybe a little early Progressive Jazz, maybe. You will not hear any so-called "Smooth Jazz." No salsa either. I like that music also but this here podcast is strictly about my love of "Talent." These are the BEST musicians that ever lived. Why? Because they had the "Freedom" to improvise and become even better. "Quality" is what you will hear. Remember this, Great Music never gets old! ENJOY!

“Avante Garde” or “Hard Bop” Part Two: Oliver Nelson, Thad Jones and Freddie Hubbard
Avante Garde? I’m truly not sure. Since I am learning as I listen, I bump into and read about different “Eras” of Jazz. There is much consistently in the early years but when you reach the “Hard Bop Era” which comes right after “Be Bop” one, there are different interpretations as to the naming of...

The Mingus Dynasty
Charles Mingus was and still is considered to be one of the best Jazz Bass player ever. This is for sure but his unknown contribution to Jazz is not recognized by mainstream music listener. His innovative form of improvisation of instruments was his golden contribution. He composed almost all of...

Machito, Toots, Benny and a sneak Weather Report
...A decade after Afro-Cuban rhythms set the jazz world on fire, we find the maestro playing the Concord, a popular lakeside resort 90 miles north of New York City. So it is a “tourist” album, probably given away or sold as a souvenir. The liners and photos tell as much about where to find…

Miles, Coltrane and are you ready for Freddie?
On this Classic Jazz Podcast, I featured two sets. The first set was an introduction to Miles Davis and John Coltrane. So the listener could get to know and begin to understand why these two men are considered to be “the best” by many. I am not a judge of musical talent, in respect where I can...

"Kenya" Machito and Cannonball
Machito's big band was one of the first and best exponents of Afro-Cuban jazz as we know it today. This 1957 effort focuses more on the African side of the Afro-Cuban equation; the album title/concept was chosen because Kenya represented the "New Africa" at the time, which dovetailed nicely with...
