        Shorty Rogers and the Migration of the Cool

        By Kevin Whitehead, eMusic Contributor

        Some good music never goes out of style: Jazz fans everywhere revere the cooking hard bop of the 1950s. So why is the other big '50s trend, cool jazz, barely on modern radar? If you want to know how fresh and airy it still sounds, hear trumpeter/composer/arranger/cool exemplar Shorty Rogers on "Popo," "Didi," "Four Mothers" and "Sam and the Lady" from his first 1951 octet session: tightly arranged, swinging jazz with breezy orchestral colors, and… more »

        Hidden Treasure: Chase

        By Dan Epstein, eMusic Contributor

        Of all the popular music styles and sub-genres of the late '60s and early '70s, "horn rock" is perhaps the only one that hasn't been revived and revered by subsequent generations. A perhaps inevitable offshoot of mid-'60s "blue eyed soul" acts like Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Mitch Ryder & the Detroit Wheels, the "horn rock" movement began in earnest in 1967 when Chicago pop group The Buckinghams, under the direction of producer James William… more »

        Woody Herman leads an octet on Jackpot!, a 1955 studio recording made for Capitol. The front line includes trumpeters Dick Collins and Johnny Coppola, bass trumpeter Cy Touff, and tenor saxophonist Richie Kamuca, along with the leader’s swinging clarinet. Pianist Norman Pockrandt arranged two favorites from Count Basie’s repertoire, an easygoing “9:20 Special” and a furious “Jumpin’ at the Woodside,” in which Kamuca and Touff really wail. Coppola alters the harmony to Milt Jackson’s bluesy “Bags’ Other Groove” to good effect, while his catchy original “The Boot” borrows the introduction from “52nd Street Theme.” Touff, whose instrument could easily be mistaken for a trombone, composed “Wailing Wall,” a moving blues with spiritual overtones, though it shifts suddenly into an up-tempo setting with little warning. Long out of print, this highly recommended LP was reissued as a part of the Mosaic limited-edition boxed set The Complete Capitol Recordings of Woody Herman. – Ken Dryden
