With cooperation from the Verve and Columbia Legacy catalogs, the Ken Burns Jazz series on CD individually spotlights the musical excellence of 22 jazz originators whose careers and influence are explored in Burns' PBS documentary Jazz. Tenor saxophonist Sonny Rollins is represented beginning with his composition "Oleo" performed with the Miles Davis Quintet in 1954. Ken Burns Jazz then chronologically (but all too briefly) touches on a few Prestige dates such as "I'm an Old Cowhand" from his inventive 1957 Way Out West album, but includes only one Blue Note date! Rollins also trades licks with Dizzy Gillespie and Sonny Stitt on the Verve date "I Know That You Know," while "Body and Soul" rounds out his '50s recordings. Rollins' legacy is picked up with "Bridge" from his 1962 comeback album The Bridge, and the CD concludes with "Alfie's Theme Differently" from the 1966 soundtrack Alfie on Impulse. While it's impossible to sum up Rollins' history on a single disc, the highlights here should keep the novice listener interested enough to continue searching out more material. However, there is nothing for the Rollins aficionado in this installment of the Ken Burns Jazz series. ~ Al Campbell Musical Guests Phil Woods Sonny Stitt Coleman Hawkins Miles Davis Dizzy Gillespie Horace Silver Ray Brown Max Roach   Compilation Appearances Milstone Jazzstars In Concert Working Girl Complete Rodgers & Hart Songbo Priceless Jazz Sampler Riverside Records Story Play Duke Ellington-Caravans Montreal Jazz Festival Ken Burns Jazz-Story Of America Ken Burns Jazz Ken Burns Jazz Nea Jazz Masters Contemporary Records Story It's De Lovely: Authentic Cole Porter Collection Jazz Bar Vol 2 Harold Arlen Centennial Celebration Basquiat's Journey Through Jazz Prestige Profiles Prestige Profiles New York For Lovers 1105 House That Trane Built: Story of Impulse Records Milestone Profile (Bonus Cd) At Music Inn Vol 2 Cafe Jazz Jazz In The City Roy Haynes:jazz Roy Haynes:jazz Very Best Of Prestige (Prestige 60Th Bluesology:anthology/atlantic Years 1   Associated Artists and Works Blakey, Art Brooks, Hadda Brown, Clifford Brown, Clifford Burton, Gary Burton, Gary (Vibes) Cherry, Don (Jazz) Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Davis, Miles The Classic Prestige Sessions, 1951-1956 ~ Davis, Miles Davis, Miles Gabel, Denis Duets: Sonny Rollins and Sonny Stitt ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Sonny Side Up ~ Gillespie, Dizzy Gillespie, Dizzy Hawkins, Coleman That's Him ~ Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Lincoln, Abbey Modern Jazz Quartet Modern Jazz Quartet Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Monk, Thelonious Alfie (Sdtk) ~ Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Alfie ~ Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Original Soundtrack Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max Roach, Max   Technical Info Release Date : 11/07/2000 Original Release Date : 2000 Catalog ID : 549091 Label : Verve (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Mixed SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00731454909129    Product Image
