While there were influential piano trios in the 1940s (Bud Powell, Thelonious Monk, Lennie Tristano, or Nat King Cole, for example), the format reached new peaks in the 1950s. In particular, Ahmad Jamal and Bill Evans reconceived the format to stress the interplay of three artists, rather than a primary piano soloist with rhythm support. In this hour, we will hear from these pianists and from Erroll Garner, the work of each represented by a legendary live recording – Garner’s 1955 Concert By the Sea, Jamal’s 1958 At The Pershing – But Not For Me and Evans’s 1961 Waltz For Debbie/A Sunday At The Village Vanguard. The three recordings can be heard as a progression.

Miles Davis was more than a trumpet player, composer and taste-maker - he led some of the greatest bands in the history of jazz. In this hour, we will feature his first great quintet of John Coltrane on tenor, Red Garland on piano, Paul Chambers on bass and Philly Joe Jones on drums.

Just as we can see Miles Davis’s Birth of the Cool sessions as a portal through which we pass as we close the music of the 1940s, his Kind of Blue sessions in 1959 mark the end of the 1950s in many ways. Alongside Kind of Blue, 1959 was also the year for Dave Brubeck’s Take Five, John Coltrane’s Giant Steps, Mingus Ah Um and Ornette Coleman’s The Shape of Jazz To Come. With this broadcast, Jazz at 100 has featured all of these masterworks.
