    Horace Silver And The Jazz Messengers — Horace Silver (Blue Note, 1955)
    2026/05/04
    Nobody had fused the Black church with bebop and made it swing like this before. Horace Silver brought gospel-inflected melody lines into jazz with The Preacher and Doodlin', backed by Kenny Dorham, Hank Mobley, Doug Watkins, and Art Blakey. This 1955 Blue Note session didn't just sell well -- it helped define the label's identity for the next decade.

  • Live At Slugs' Volume 1 & 2 — Music Inc. (Strata-East, 1972)

    Live At Slugs' Volume 1 & 2 — Music Inc. (Strata-East, 1972)
    2026/05/02
    Recorded on this date in 1970. Slugs' was the kind of after-hours club where the real music happened -- a cramped basement dive on East Third Street where musicians went to stretch out after their uptown gigs ended. Charles Tolliver had been making waves in the late sixties with Freddie Hubbard and Jackie McLean, but by nineteen seventy he was ready to lead his own revolutionary unit. Featured tracks: Peace With Myself, On the Nile Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.

    2026/05/01

Featured tracks: One Step Beyond, Ghost Town Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.

  • Night Dreamer — Wayne Shorter (Blue Note, 1964)

    Night Dreamer — Wayne Shorter (Blue Note, 1964)
    2026/04/30
    Recorded on this date in 1964. By April nineteen sixty-four, Shorter had already logged time with Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers, but Night Dreamer was his moment to step forward as a leader with something to say. Blue Note paired him with Lee Morgan on trumpet, McCoy Tyner on piano, Reggie Workman on bass, and Elvin Jones on drums -- borrowed from Coltrane's quartet for the session. Featured tracks: Night Dreamer, Virgo Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.

    2026/04/29
    Blossom Dearie born on this date in 1924.

  • Serenade To A Bus Seat — Clark Terry Quintet (Riverside Records, 1957)

    Serenade To A Bus Seat — Clark Terry Quintet (Riverside Records, 1957)
    2026/04/28
    Recorded on this date in 1957. Clark Terry was thirty-six and still playing in Duke Ellington's orchestra when he made this record for Riverside. He was moonlighting as a leader, and the quintet he assembled was ridiculous -- Johnny Griffin on tenor, Wynton Kelly on piano, Paul Chambers on bass, and Philly Joe Jones on drums. Featured tracks: Serenade To A Bus Seat, Boomerang Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.

  • Sunset Eyes — Teddy Edwards (Pacific Jazz, 1960)

    Sunset Eyes — Teddy Edwards (Pacific Jazz, 1960)
    2026/04/27
    Teddy Edwards was born on this date in 1924. By 1960, the Mississippi-born tenor saxophonist had become one of LA's most dependable players. Sunset Eyes, cut for Pacific Jazz with Duke Jordan on piano, Larry Ridley on bass, and Freddie Waits on drums, captures Edwards at his most lyrical -- swinging like bebop but breathing like chamber music. Featured tracks: Sunset Eyes, Stella By Starlight Deep in the Stacks is a daily jazz podcast from Kissa Kissa in Brooklyn.
