In the eyes of top musicians, I'm very curious about what a great work by a top artist looks like.

Imagine being the most famous musician in the world and doing your first performance in three years at the House of Blues, just months after shaving your head. Britney Spears really is the last true rockstar.

Remembering the great Charles Mingus who was born on this day in 1922. Considered to be one of the greatest jazz musicians and composers of all time, Mingus was a major proponent of collective improvisation. In the 1950s, he introduced a new musical device to facilitate his style of composing and playing: the jazz workshop. The music for the first jazz workshops in 1953 had generally been written down before the performance. He felt that improvisation was so intrinsic to jazz that a musician should not be restricted to written scores. As a performer, Mingus was a pioneer in double bass technique, widely recognized as one of the instrument’s most proficient players. Here, he is performing “Pithecanthropus Erectus” with Eddie Preston on trumpet, Charles McPherson on alto saxophone, Bobby Jones on tenor saxophone, Jaki Byard on piano and Dannie Richmond on drums live in Denmark, 1970.

Remembering the great John Coltrane who was born this week in 1926. One of the most influential musicians in the history of jazz, Coltrane helped pioneer the use of modes and was at the forefront of the free jazz movement. His style encompassed the modal jazz first explored with Miles Davis, the complex chord structures of his own compositions, and ultimately the extremes of timbre, dynamics, and register associated with free jazz. Coltrane’s total mastery of the tenor and soprano saxophones, the rich harmonic density of his compositions, and his clear projection of emotion enabled him to reconcile technical virtuosity with an often spiritual profundity. Here, he is performing “My Favorite Things” with McCoy Tyner on piano, Jimmy Garrison on bass and Elvin Jones on drums live in Belgium, 1965.
