- Join host Pete Pardo and special guest co-host Mike Antonelli of The Brewery at Orange County Hops for a primer on a great decade in the history of jazz music, 1954-1964. Mike and Pete discuss some of the important artists & releases for each year in that ten year period.
Outstanding jazz primer for those of us who don’t know where to go beyond Miles and Coltrane..!!
The importance of Art Blakey can’t be stated enough! Awesome video gentlemen!
Mike Antonelli - more shows please!
I really dig on Cannonball Adderly. He rolled with updated sounds as time went on, too. Love his 70's material as much as his early output. Julian & Nat were great, as was their bandmates through the years....😎
I love the Black Messiah LP especially, very hard to locate that album or CD anymore.
You nailed it on this guy Pete, I like how you let this dude talk. Only so many of these people left that have a passion for jazz like this, let this guy talk and extract all the knowledge we can. Doing good work Pete! Thank you!
Great show. Dave Brubeck for time signatures, Stan Kenton for his modernization of big bands and his protege - Maynard Ferguson. Great music that taught me a lot. My dad played in a jazz band.
Pete- Nice perspective....would be nice to try the next ten years of 'jazz' as well- 1965-1975! Jazz went electric, Fender Rhodes became a big part of the sound, even synthesizers! We have so many classes for rock such as prog, psych, metal, etc. and jazz developed that as well with spiritual, funk, soul, fusion and so on....
great episode Pete!! was lookin' forward to this. and some great album pics for the novice jazz listener or newbees just getting into it.
great video! I am an Art Blakey fan...A Night in Tunisia is simply superb!
Just decided to really really get into jazz. This episode was fantastic. I made a playlist on my RUclips music with almost all the albums you mentioned. Wow, blown away, thank you!
You guys are inspiring me to get back into listening to jazz again. I was on a jazz cd kick for a few years in the '90s and own a lot of the recordings you featured here.
Great stuff guys. As a casual jazz fan this was really helpful. Have picked out 31 LPs from those mentioned and will listen to one a day in the New Year. Jazz January.
Thanks guys for the history lesson!
I also recommend European Concert by the Modern Jazz Quartet from 1960. This album was recorded in Sweden.
Great show!
thanks Pete this guy awesome
Fantastic jazz primer, Pete. Thank you very much! I hope you and Mike do more of these, and particularly on Miles Davis and John Coltrane.
Excellent list. I love all those albums. Surprised Sun Ra was not mentioned. For Jimmy Smith though, have to go with "House Party" or "Back at the Chicken Shack". For Grant Green, "Feelin' the Spirit" is my favorite. Cannonball Adderley - have to go with "Friday Night in San Francisco".
For people just venturing into jazz, I would advise delaying listening to the more free and avante-garde material.
Thanks for doing this one Pete and featuring the classic years of jazz on the show. It really is a great primer and anybody looking to explore this wonderful music should start here. Every artist mentioned is well worthy of investigation and should be in any decent jazz collection. Mike has chosen real classics here and you can't go wrong with these picks. Great show.
Such a great episode. I really enjoyed it and learned a lot. So much incredible music and musicians from that time period. It was such a vital time in Jazz. The entire genre progressed so well musically even into the late 60's and 70's. Shocking to know so many greats died way too early, but we still have guys like Sonny Rollins, Herbie Hancock, Wayne Shorter, McCoy Tyner and Roy Haynes going strong in their 80's and 90's. Everyone looking to get into jazz or already into jazz should really listen to the whole episode.
Please, more Jazz episodes.
Very Impressive Pete. With all the knowledge you have with rock, surprised to see such a love and knowledge of Jazz.
So much great stuff here...
Excellent job, both of you. I’m a huge fan of Miles and Coltrane, but also into Monk, Mingus, Shorter, and Blakey n the jazz messengers. Much needed diversion. Thanks guys✌️🎶🍺
Hi Pete,
Great primer for those thinking of delving into the Jazz genre. Ive been getting more and more into Jazz recently and finding it so rewarding. Discovering guys like Wayne Shorter, Lee Morgan and Sonny Rollins has been a revelation, to name but a few. Mike is a great part of the Sea of Tranquility channel, looking forward to further jazz topics and recommendations.
Peace

Fantastic Pete, that you bring this dimension of Jazz to your rock presentation. Horace Silver was mentioned and I would like to add that I recommend his 1964 album Songs for my Father. Great work gentlemen!
1955 - Oscar Pettiford Vol. 2 on Bethlehem. Bohemia After Dark - a Pettiford composition - is where the So What bass line comes from.
There's actually a documentary about how that photograph came to be called appropriately enough "A Great Day in Harlem". Brilliant!
Been watching your channel for years now and love the hard rock/prog/classic rock coverage. I never thought you'd cover classic bop jazz as you have in this segment. You guys nailed it. This decade is the cream of jazz hard bop. I have pretty much all of the records you mentioned in this segment. Looking forward to the Miles - Coltrane features in the near future.
Great selection and quite comprehensive. All my favorite musicians of that era were there, with most of my favorite albums. That said, I would personally add a couple of more albums that still move me even after listening to them hundreds of listens. 1963, Mingus: The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady as well as Mingus Mingus Mingus. Horace Silver's 1964 Song for My Father, and 1960's Bill Evans Portrait in Jazz.
FANTASTIC SHOW \o/ \o/ \o/
Great picks and even if i'm a big jazz fan, i learned a lot by watching the show.
This is why i love so much this channel : metal, prog, blues rock, southern rock, classic rock, jazz-fusion, jazz...there is EVERYTHING for EVERYBODY here!
One masterpiece i would mention if you allow me : Charles Mingus - The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady (1963)
Keep up the good work, Pete!
Great stuff, look forward to part 2!
Great job Mike and Pete. I almost regret suggesting to not mention Miles or Coltrane. It can kind of hamstring a very comprehensive jazz history. I'm on the hunt for some Lee Morgan Grant Green and Art Pepper. My mom always told me if you want to know how to appreciate and love something sometimes you have to see someone who loves it. It comes through with both of you. I was curious at the omitting of Dizzy Gillespie, but I understand that you can't mention everyone. I love this show and have shared it to my Facebook page and 3 friends. I'm guessing this show isn't going to grow your channel, but thanks for for your Herculean effort Pete just to please a few.
Jazzman, take my blues away🎺🎷🎶📯🎵🎷🎶🎺.....
Love Love Love this!!! Thank you
This video is just what I need right now, been starting to dig into older jazz a bit but it's hard to know where to start. Thanks!
Great show Pete, i very much enjoy 👍🏻i am a big jazz, jazzrock, fusion, hardrock, heavymetal lover. Very nice you mention Jimmy Smith, roy Haynes, joe henderson, stanley turrentine, tony williams, ect ect..... I very much liked the hammond players Jimmy Mcgriff, John Patton, Johnny hammond smith, Charles Earland ect ect..... Maybe one time you can do a top 30 of the CTI recordings produced by Creed Taylor???....... Very much like your Frank Marino Tshirt👍🏻
Good stuff.
I'd love a 1965-1975 follow up video. Amazing music in that time frame as well.
Outstanding job guys. I’m going to go check out some of this stuff.
Thanks to you both! This is exactly what I needed.
Please, more Jazz albums.
Awesome video guys, really enjoyed it and got some great tips, thanks!!
This just might be my favorite S.o.T. video. Well done.
Love the shout out for Ray Brown, his arrangements are some of the best there is'. Check out Larry Walker, piano player who was mentored by RB and has the chops to prove it.
Grant Green, my favorite jazz guitarist. His album 'Going West' along with Oscar Petersons 'Live And At It's Best Ljubljana, Yugoslavia 1964' and Brubeck's 'Take 5' are the albums I have used to turn off friends to jazz because they seem to really work for that.
One of the things I have always dug about Jazz albums is how the lineups would constantly change. Half the fun of going through the record store Jazz bins was seeing who was playing with who. Love how prime musicians like Blakely would change up album to album, doing a trio for one then a quartet for another.
Great start! Don’t know your first album; but since it was a Blue Note, I knew you were a serious guy!
I have a disc The Quintet Jazz At Massey Hall.. It's from May 15 ,1953. It's Dizzy Gillespie- trumpet., Charlie Parker - Alto sax Bud Powell- piano, Charlie Mingus-bass, Max Powell-drums. It's great.. SALT PEANUTS, SALT PEANUTS!!!!!
Hey Pete. Just subscribed. Stumbled cross your videos a few week go and have binge-watched a bunch. Keep up the good work
Nice show, guys.
Undoubtedly the period in jazz most represented in my jazz collection. I pretty much took a hiatus from hard rock and prog between 2002 and 2012. Some of my favorites in addition to your awesome 101:
Oscar Peterson Trio (with Ray Brown and Herb Ellis):
At Zardi's
At the Stratford Shakespearean Festival
At the Concertgebouw
Freddie Hubbard: Ready for Freddie
Art Blakey:
Caravan
Free for All
Lee Morgan: Search for the New Land
Bill Evans Trio (Scott La Faro and Paul Motian): Portrait in Jazz
Charlie Mingus:
Pithecanthropus Erectus
Tijuana Moods
The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady
The Great Concert of Charles Mingus
Cannonball Adderley: The Cannonball Adderley Quintet in San Francisco
Sonny Rollins: A Night at the Village Vanguard Vols. 1 and 2
Jimmy Smith:
Back at the Chicken Shack
Midnight Special
Before I get struck by lightning, two honorable omissions (I truly suck!!!) courtesy of Father Thelonious:
The Thelonious Monk Orchestra at Town Hall
Thelonious Monk Quartet with John Coltrane at Carnegie Hall (archival, granted, but who cares?)
Giant Steps was recorded in April and May of 1959. Miles Davis is also on the record Something Else. There's a bunch more mistakes and holes in the information in this video, but I'll leave it at that.
Hey Mike, Chuck Reed here. Not sure if you remember me back in the 70's. I used hang out with Tommy & Danny Knapp. Also lived in Walden. Thanks for the Primer.
Hey Chuck! Yes I remember you. Thanks for the shout out, glad you liked the show!
Lived in Sussex co. nj since the 70s, last 5 years in Warwick NY,(neighbors!), currently living in Kentucky
Ritchie Blackmore is a huge fan of Sonny Rollins and Wayne Shorter
Good idea to avoid Davis and Coltrane. I feel both pull attention from truly great players who deserve to be much better known by the mainstream. I became obsessed with Charles Mingus and Thelonious Monk. Both composers who brought the best out of their sidemen. Add Eric Dolphy in as someone who pushed jazz without breaking it and creating noise.
I'm 25 minutes in and the one album (so far) that I sopped, listened to and bought right away online is...
Can ya guess?
It's Charles Mingus- Ah Um
Eric Dolphy, he was the man.
Hi Pete, Im shocked to see you have yet to make a Dream Theater Top 10. Would love to see your list and read others in the comments, along with Yes and Rush, its my fav band of all time.
Is there a follow up episode?
O tried to take that back right away. It wouldn't let me do it.
What about Bill Evans. He is pretty big to.
He's mentioned at 34:00
Also around 39:06 Waltz For Debby is mentioned and Sunday at the Village Vanguard is mentioned again.
top 5 that period 1954-1964
not including miles and trane
1. first one is fantastic.. art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers
2. one of my all-time favorites The sidewinder from Lee Morgan
3. the concert by the sea from Erroll Gardner
4. if you're a fan of the Allman Brothers that everybody should also own a copy of 1962 Bashan the unpredictable Jimmy Smith
so much at Greg's later Hammond organ playing heavily influenced by him
5. Dave Brubeck time out 1959
and now you Steely Dan fans horace-silver-song-for-my-father literally is what begins Rikki Don't lose That number..
even Donald fagen in the late Walter Becker mentioned it more than once basically borrowing it
Coleman Hawkins . Less "noodling", much more listenable than Coltrane and Parker.
mingus mingus mingus!
Pete, Its wearing out. Please trying to stop trying to justifact
Jeez, pumping out videos non stop, that ad sense money is like crack huh?
