Box set containing 4 jewel case CDs (TOCP-7141, TOCP-7142, TOCP-7143, TOCP-7144) and two booklets. The Ventures are an American instrumental rock band, formed in 1958 in Tacoma, Washington, by Don Wilson and Bob Bogle. The band, a quartet for most of its existence, helped to popularize the electric guitar in the United States and across the world during the 1960s. While their popularity in the United States waned in the 1970s, the group remains especially revered in Japan, where they tour regularly to this day. The classic lineup of the band consisted of Wilson (rhythm guitar), Bogle (initially lead guitar, switched to bass), Nokie Edwards (initially bass, switched to lead guitar), and Mel Taylor (drums).
A great collection of hits from the late 1950's to early 1970's.
Jimmy Smith wasn't the first organ player in jazz, but no one had a greater influence with the instrument than he did; Smith coaxed a rich, grooving tone from the Hammond B-3, and his sound and style made him a top instrumentalist in the 1950s and '60s, while a number of rock and R&B keyboardists would learn valuable lessons from Smith's example.
Lalo Schifrin may ultimately be most famous for his "Mission Impossible" theme, but his jazz credentials are more than solid. A distinctive composer, arranger, and pianist, the Argentine-born Schifrin had a famous stint as pianist for Dizzy Gillespie's small group during the early 1960s, and composed a number of large-scale projects for the master trumpeter. Schifrin has a deep understanding of both Latin and jazz idioms, abundant evidence of which can be found on the sprawling and infectious Latin Jazz Suite. Schifrin's six-movement composition echoes his momentous work for Gillespie, and the significant contributions of virtuoso trumpeter and Gillespie protégé Jon Faddis only highlight the influence.
