For his fans, Buddy Rich was the greatest jazz drummer of all time. He kept his audience in suspense with long solos, only to leave the stage covered in sweat afterwards. The American secured his long-term success with his own orchestra. Born into a family of artists and already gave concerts at the age of four under the pseudonym Traps the drum wonder. At the age of fifteen he became (after Jackie Coogan) the second highest paid child star of the 1930s [1]. He made his first experiences as a jazz drummer with Joe Marsala in 1937 and was then signed by Artie Shaw. Like his still young band colleague Frank Sinatra, he finally achieved international fame in the early 1940s with Tommy Dorsey. With Sinatra's financial help, Rich founded h...

Although he is a spirited, skilful and imaginative soloist, Victor Wooten believes that "the first duty of any good bassist is to help make your group sound better. Since 1989, the Nashville-based electric bass virtuoso has done just that for Béla Fleck and the Flecktones: make the band sound better. But before he goes on stage in New York City as part of Chick Corea's electric band, Wooten calls to talk about his new solo CD Palmystery (Heads Up/Concord) and The Music Lesson (Berkley Trade/Penguin Group), a novel he wrote to fulfill his desire to help others avoid some of the pitfalls he's seen over the years. But first, Wooten would like to share his thoughts on the role of the bass player. "You have to lay the foundation that will ...

Abstract art design is one of the most influential and impactful movements in the history of modern art.

John Francis Anthony "Jaco" Pastorius III (* December 1, 1951 in Norristown, Pennsylvania; † September 21, 1987 in Fort Lauderdale, Florida) was one of the most influential electric bassists in recent music history. From 1979 he also gave solo concerts with the bass only. His credo was: "I play bass as if I was playing with a human voice." In 1988, Pastorius was elected into the Jazz Hall of Fame by the readers of Down Beat as the only electric bassist. This finally confirmed a sentence with which Pastorius had introduced himself in 1975 in Miami, free from all false modesty, after the sound check of the group Weather Report at the Guzman Theatre with their leader Joe Zawinul, whom he greatly admired: "My name is John Francis Pastorius I...

Thelonious Monk's music is a cosmos in itself. His music is unique in jazz. What is he doing? Krude Glissandi, who leads into nothing, accents in unusual places, chord piles, which cannot be identified exactly, constantly dissonances, as if he would always hit two adjacent keys. And pauses! Whenever one thinks that a barrel is coming now, the pianist takes a break. Unheard of to play this way! Monk is described by contemporaries as an introverted eccentric. He stood out externally for his giant figure, his preference for unusual headgear and sunglasses, and his goatee beard. In this way he coined the image of the hipster of the 1940s and 1950s alongside Dizzy Gillespie.

Thin Lizzy's Nightlife is an underrated gem of a record, while also a complete anomaly within their catalog. Subdued, soulful, and smooth in ways that Thin Lizzy never were before and rarely were afterwards. Of course, this hard rock band still included plenty of moments of the style of primal rock 'n' roll they were known for, though still managed to make it more enigmatic, sincere, and philosophically complex than their other material and certainly more so than their contemporaries at the time.
