This week In Jazz Legends 04/52

Wes Montgomery’s “West Coast Blues” showcases his inventive thumb-picked technique and octave work, supported by Tommy Flanagan’s piano and Percy Heath’s bass, while Benny Golson’s take on “Take The A Train” blends respect for tradition with a fresh swing. Freddie Hubbard’s “Red Clay” leans into groovy jazz fusion, anchored by Ron Carter’s bass and Herbie Hancock’s electric piano. Rahsaan Roland Kirk’s “Seasons” packs layered improvisations, balancing chaos and thoughtfulness, while Joe Lovano’s “Sounds of Joy” offers playful unpredictability within a minimalist trio. Sonny Rollins’ “Alfie’s Theme” merges cinematic flair with jazz brilliance, and Lenny White’s “Wolfbane” grooves through controlled fusion.
