John Coltrane
(1926 - 1967)
John William Coltrane, also known as "Trane"
(September 23, 1926 – July 17, 1967), was an American
jazz saxophonist and composer. Working in the bebop and
hard bop idioms early in his career, Coltrane helped
pioneer the use of modes in jazz and was later at the
forefront of free jazz. He organized at least fifty
recording sessions as a leader during his career, and
appeared as a sideman on many other albums, notably with
trumpeter Miles Davis and pianist Thelonious Monk.

Red
Garland (1923 – 1984)
William "Red" Garland (May 13, 1923 – April 23, 1984)
was an American modern jazz pianist whose block chord
style, in part originated by Milt Buckner, influenced
many forthcoming pianists in the jazz idiom.
Some CDs, on which he is heard:
Paul Chambers (1935-1969)
Paul Laurence Dunbar Chambers, Jr. (April 22, 1935 –
January 4, 1969) was a jazz double bassist. A fixture of
rhythm sections during the 1950s and 1960s, his
importance in the development of jazz bass can be
measured not only by the length and breadth of his work
in this short period but also his impeccable time,
intonation, and virtuosic improvisations. He was also
known for his bowed solos.
Some CDs, on which he is heard:
Philly Joe Jones (1923-1985)
Joseph Rudolph "Philly Joe" Jones (July 15, 1923 –
August 30, 1985) was a Philadelphia-born American jazz
drummer, known as the drummer for the first "Great"
Miles Davis Quintet.
