Part 1 (50s \u0026 60s)","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo x 2LP sets that examine the influence and expression of the underground jazz that evolved in California and surrounding states during the latter part of the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe West Coast of the USA has long been associated with the ‘cool jazz’ popular explosion of the 1950s, though wherever jazz was played, modal, Afro-centric and spiritualised streams flowed and flourished too - the West Coast was no exception. In the post-war years, Los Angeles’ Central Avenue was second only to Manhattan as America’s greatest jazz district. Yet while Manhattan might have been the de facto centre of the jazz universe during these years, it was California that came to exert the greater pull on culture at large, drawing people from across America toward its burgeoning 1960s counter-culture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHere we explore the effects of that counter-culture on jazz. We examine the influence of the most significant force in post-civil rights Black politics – the Black Panthers, and we delve into the novel spiritual practices and religions of the coming ‘New Age’. A variety of idiosyncratic indies such as Arhoolie, Theresa and Nimbus were located in California as well as many more private enterprises, and we showcase the results of their efforts to express their musical freedom. All of these factors can be seen to have an influence on the way that jazz and jazz musicians developed and thrived on the West Coast - and the evolution of spiritual jazz here is examined in detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2LPs featuring 24 tracks in total, housed in gatefold sleeves with liner notes, pics \u0026amp; download code.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat\u003c\/strong\u003e: double vinyl LP \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLabel\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jazzman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGenre\u003c\/strong\u003e: Jazz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e: New\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCat No\u003c\/strong\u003e.: JMANLP151\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarcode\u003c\/strong\u003e: 5036468001513\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklisting\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"otQkpb\" role=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e01: Chico Hamilton Quintet - Blue Sands\u003cbr\u003e02: Victor Feldman - New Delhi\u003cbr\u003e03: Hank Bagby - Iborian\u003cbr\u003e04: Les McCann - Damascus\u003cbr\u003e05: Ken Jensen Quartet - Cheap Blue\u003cbr\u003e06: Buddy Collette - Jungle Pipe\u003cbr\u003e07: Earl Anderza - Outa Sight\u003cbr\u003e08: Curtis Amy - Shaker Heights\u003cbr\u003e09: Roy Haynes - Wives And Lovers\u003cbr\u003e10: Native LandCurtis Amy \u0026amp; Dupree Bolton - Native Land\u003cbr\u003e11: Mills Monarchs Of Jazz - My!
