The Short List: B-3 Blitz Two: Tony Monaco
The B-3 Blitz Two series on the
great Hammond B-3 organ players continues with Tony Monaco. His name is not a
"household common" yet, but he has been a pretty busy guy in the last
decade, once he got help from fellow B-3 player, Joey DeFrancesco. Monaco was
influenced by the revered master, Jimmy Smith. Monaco would overcome a
polio-like disease to become a burnin' Hammond master himself.

"Horace Silver in the 1950s"
Craig takes a close look at
the recordings of pianist and composer, Horace Silver, during the decade of the
1950s. Silver was one of the main cogs in the development of what we know as
"hard bop"....the melding of 'rhythm and blues' and 'gospel rhythms',
with 'modern jazz' and 'bebop. We'll
hear Horace performing with Miles Davis, Lou Donaldson, Stan Getz, Lee Morgan,
Hank Mobley, and many others, as well as his many Blue Note recordings as a
leader. This one will be loads of fun!!
