Opus 5- Progression (2014)

>post-bop
>This is the third release from this makeshift quintet, made up of guys who play together as sidemen on a regular basis. On this record the group plays mostly original material that is very modern, but there is obviously a lot of influence from the tradition of post-bop quintets, especially the classic Miles quintet.

post bop, recorded in 2005 and 2007. pianist Marc Copland and bassist Gary Peacock both played in a large variety of contexts over their respective careers, and always showed a high adapting capacity to whoever they were playing with. on this duo record they develop interesting dialogs on several of their own compositions, but also on four standards, of which All blues and Blue in green by Miles Davis are part

Chico Hamilton Quintet ft. Eric Dolphy (1959)

>avant garde, third stream, hard bop
>Dolphy joined forces with bandleader and drummer Chico Hamilton in the late 50's and proved a valuable addition to his band. Here, on Hamilton's interesting original compositions the band blends mainstream jazz with classical music and touches of the avant garde. Dolphy's early playing is rich with bebop-isms but already starting to move away from them in interesting ways.

Barry Altschul- You Can’t Name Your Own Tune (1977)

>avant garde, post-bop
>Considering the lineup, which includes Dave Holland, Sam Rivers, and George Lewis, this record is not as free as you might expect if you are familiar with their work in the 70’s. While the tunes are fairly structured, the solos are quite adventurous and lead to a lot of interesting interplay.

Dave Ballou- Dancing Foot (2004)

>free jazz, post-bop
>Continuing to push the envelope, Ballou presents his adventurous music here with the unique instrumentation of trumpet, 2 basses, and drums. Ballou’s music and approach to improvisation is unique in and of itself, but the concept of two bass players gives this music an even more interesting sound and concept of harmonic freedom.

Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group (1962)

>hard bop, avant-garde
>This recording comes from Shihab’s time spent in Europe. He played as a sideman on a number of great recordings in the 50’s, but this is one of his best albums as a leader. His interesting charts for medium-sized ensemble lead to even more interesting improvisations.

Jonathan Kreisberg- Nine Stories Wide (2004)

>post-bop, modal jazz
>A departure from his quintet and his original compositions, this album features Krieisberg in a guitar trio setting and playing mostly new interpretations of jazz standards. Despite the somewhat “straight-ahead” nature of this record, Kreisberg’s tone and unmistakable chromatic approach to improvisation make this a very enjoyable listen.

Alex Sipiagin- Equilibrium (2004)

>post-bop
>With the same horn section from Destinations Unknown, but a more swing based rhythm section, this album is a nice mid-point between Sipiagin's earlier swing-based music and his later, more exploratory recordings. It features some very good original compositions, as well as a few great arrangements of standards and incredible improvisation throughout the record.

Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz- Diz and Getz (1955)

>bebop, swing
>Bebop guru Dizzy Gillespie teams up with tenor giant Stan Getz for a blistering run through some swing standards. Getz is often remembered for his laid back playing but here he shows he can bop with the best. The record is great, thanks in no small part to the excellent backing band of Herb Ellis, Oscar Peterson, Ray Brown, and Max Roach.
