There is a fine line between self-emancipation and existential oblivion, as the life of Henry Grimes and the poems of SIGNS ALONG THE ROAD clearly illustrate. A master bassist who played with the likes of Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk and Gerry Mulligan, he also sent tremors through the free-jazz world with the definitive style of his bass work in pioneering ESP recordings by the Albert Ayler Group. And then came his free fall through the oft-cited but virtually nonexistent "social network."...| Listen & Be Heard Network

Every decade in jazz had a predominant style. New Orleans-style jazz of the early 1920’s morphed into swing (1930’s) which then begat bebop (1940’s). The 1950’s saw jazz kicked off its perch as the predominant style of pop music, as the music fragmented into more styles. The bebop got harder and less inviting to new…| J. P.'s Blog
